CORKERY NAMED DELTEK CEO
Acting CEO Mike Corkery has moved into the top Deltek job permanently. Corkery, the company's CFO, took on the interim role in December following the departure of Kevin Parker. Parker left after private equity investment firm, Thoma Bravo, purchased the project accounting software company for $1.1 billion and took it private. Corkery joined the company in January 2010. From November 2007 to February 2010, Corkery served in the roles of acting CEO, EVP and CFO at ICO Global Communications.
He was CFO of the Current Group from January 2006 through November 2007 and VP of operations finance at Nextel Communication from July 2002 through August 2005. Maybe the new regime will be a little more press friendly. I met once with Parker and got the distinct impression he was not thrilled with meeting the press in general. The one year Taylor Macdonald was at Deltek, the company invited press to its user conference. After that, nary a word that we were welcome.
