Richard Belluzzo

Richard Belluzzo (often known as Rick Belluzzo) is a US businessman who worked as an executive at HP (executive vice president), SGI (as CEO), and Microsoft (as president and COO at one point) before becoming CEO of Quantum Corp. in 2002.

Much of his career is clouded in controversy and many consider him to be responsible for the demise of SGI.[1][2][3][4] He was a strong advocate at HP to reduce their investments in HP-UX and PA-RISC in favor of NT/Itanium as well as getting SGI to cut their investments in IRIX/MIPS. The effect of these decisions was to destroy two of the leading platforms in 64-bit computing and greatly increased the opportunity for Intel and Microsoft to get into high-end computing.
