Top Oracle sales exec resigns

Jay Nussbaum, executive vice president of Oracle Service Industries, is leaving after 10 years at the company to become a senior executive at another company that partners with Oracle, a company representative said. Nussbaum, one of a dozen executives who report directly to Oracle Chief Executive Larry Ellison, oversaw sales, marketing and consulting in the government, education, health care, communications, utilities and financial industries.

The company representative said that Nussbaum--one of three sales executives for Oracle in North America--is leaving on amicable terms. The representative would not say which company Nussbaum is joining. His duties will be split among four other Oracle executives. --Wylie Wong, Special to ZDNet News
