“Atipa Linux Solutions announced today that Jeffrey Keenan,
currently President of the Kansas City-based company, has been
appointed Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of
Atipa. Keenan will apply nearly two decades of experience managing
strategic growth as a senior executive and merchant banker on Wall
Street to lead Atipa’s growth in the Linux market. He came to Atipa
from IESI Corporation where he served as Chairman since 1995.”
“Keenan replaces Jason Talley, who is leaving Atipa to explore
new career opportunities and personal pursuits. Talley, who led
Atipa’s first phase of growth from a start-up company to a leading
provider of Linux solutions, leaves the company after assembling a
management team to lead Atipa’s future strategic expansion in the
growing Linux market.”
“Since joining Atipa and immersing myself in the Linux
industry, I have become even more convinced of the growth
opportunities presented by Linux and Atipa’s ability to seize those
opportunities,” said Keenan. “I believe we have assembled the
talent, experience, and resources necessary to move to the next
phase of growth and execute on our comprehensive business
model.”
