Right before Ellen left IBM I was on a advisory panel she had formed for her organization. She was one impressive person. She rapidly understood and rapidly made decisions. My odds on Apple went up with this change. Dave Apple chief executive Gil Amelio has chosen Ellen Hancock to be Apple's executive vice president and chief technology officer. Hancock spent 28 years with IBM, and was a senior vice president in 1992, responsible for the division making computer networking hardware and software, when she left the company following a management reorganization. Amelio first recruited her to National Semiconductor last September, before he moved from CEO of National to CEO of Apple. Hancock said of her new appointment: ''I have brought products to market before, so I know how to focus on what you need to do." (San Jose Mercury News Center 4 Jul 96)
