\u201cAfter 40 plus years in the tech industry and with Riverbed in a strong position, the time is right for me to retire and hand the reins over to a proven leader in Paul Mountford.\u00a0 Paul has the experience, leadership capabilities, customer-focus, and passion to lead Riverbed through the next phase of growth while continuing to surpass our customers\u2019 expectations.\u201d<\/p>\n
