Attensity SAS Staff Shuffle
June 16, 2010
I learned recently that SAS lost Manya Mayes to Attensity. No big deal, but Ms Mayes had been at SAS for 15 years. Attensity seems to be serious about its text analytics business. You can get more information in the write up “Attensity Group Appints Manya Mayes as Director of Advanced Analytics.” Here’s what an Attensity officer said about the new hire:
Her SAS expertise and customer and product experience will be a great asset to the Attensity team. Her addition will build on Attensity’s current analytic capabilities, bringing advanced analytics expertise to the team.”
A couple of thoughts. I wonder why Ms. Mayes is not an officer of Attensity. Second, will SAS push back and make some noise about competition? When Google hired an Endeca expert in eCommerce, I received email suggesting that any connection between the Endeca hire and Google’s aspirations in markets where Endeca has a presence was silly.
That’s a silly goose for you I suppose.
