CRN: Top 25 Executives: Marc Ewing

"Young, who rarely removes his flashy red fedora, is the marketeer, capitalizing on the open-source craze. But Ewing, executive vice president and chief technology officer is "the techie, the one all the Unix guys love," says Howard Diamond, chief executive of Corporate Software & Technology Inc., Norwood, Mass."

"Ewing started the Red Hat project in the early 1990's and was looking for financial and marketing assistance. Young met Ewing in 1994 and they merged a year later."

"[The two] definitely put Linux on the map with an awful lot of help from the Linux community," says Patrick Maderia, president of Tri-Star International, a Phoenix integrator."
