A field of lovely lovely lupins.
The WSJ Law Blog calls these California general counsel moves musical chairs in techland:
- Lou Lupin left Qualcomm (San Diego). Donald Rosenberg departed Apple (Cupertino). Daniel Cooperman exited Oracle (Redwood Shores).
- Mr. Rosenberg replaced Mr. Lupin at Qualcomm. Mr. Cooperman took Mr. Rosenberg’s Apple spot. And Oracle’s own Dorian E. Daley succeeded Mr. Cooperman.
All of which leaves only Mr. Lupin without a place to sit.
These developments recalled to Blawgletter a Monty Python sketch that featured the highwayman Dennis Moore. Mr. Moore steals lupins from rich people and gives them to peasants. But later he starts taking valuables and does such a fine job that the wealthy become the poor and vice versa.
Which raises the question: What accounts for the flowering mobility of general counsel? Have they become more valuable? More accountable?
