Ousely takes helm at Savvis
Savvis Chairman James E. Ousely has been appointed interim CEO at the company after Chief Executive Phil Koen stepped down on Friday, Savvis announced today.
Koen had been with Savvis, the Town and Country-based provider of Internet infrastructure services for corporations, since March 2006. His resignation was effective at the end of last week.
“In consultation with our board of directors, and knowing we have a very strong leadership team in place, this is an excellent time for me to move on to a new opportunity and to watch Savvis continue to grow and excel,” Koen said in a company news release.
He didn’t elaborate on the opportunity that led him to resign.
