Startup lands another Microsoft veteran

Seattle PI | at | by Mike

A small Seattle startup company has burnished its Microsoft pedigree with the addition of a key member of the Windows Vista design team as a co-owner.

Jenny Lam, formerly the Windows User Experience creative director, confirmed Monday that she had left the company to join former Microsoft managers Hillel Cooperman and Walter Smith in a new software venture called Jackson Fish Market.

Separately, a former group marketing manager for Windows Vista, Brian Marr, has left to become managing director at Seattle-based marketing agency Wexley School for Girls.
