The Revolving Door for Managers at Kaleidescape… Spins Again

December 11, 2014 by Ted 2 Comments

Kaleidescape logoImagine, if you will, working at a company serving a channel in which yours is the only significant participant with no major competitors – you own the segment.

Must be an idyllic existence…right?

At Kaleidescape, Inc., the industry’s most prominent brand of media servers, it appears to be an idyllic existence only if you are one of the two founders – Michael Malcolm and Cheena Srinivasan. For other top managers, the pressure must be constant, as there appears to be a spinning revolving door – or so it would seem as we learn again this week of more top managers exiting the company.
