Former Lotus exec now hatching ideas for Microsoft
ENT News | at | by Mike
Microsoft recently tapped Reed Sturtevant, a Lotus, Radnet and Idealab vet, to spearhead concept development in its spiffy new Cambridge, Mass. facility.
The high-rise building along the Charles River is about two blocks from Lotus Development's old headquarters building. Microsoft is beefing up its East Coast presence with its new Cambridge facility. It is also conveniently close to the MIT campus, which is no accident.
The high-rise office houses some of the Softricity staff. Microsoft acquired Softricity and its virtualization know-how last year. That group, now dubbed Softgrid, is in the One Memorial Drive building; it will also be the location of Sturtevant's new team, which he's building now.
