Peglar on the hoof: Micron flash and XPoint VP legs it

Exits loss-making company for pastures new

Eighteen months after joining Micron as VP of Advanced Storage Solutions, Rob Peglar has thrown in the towel and resigned to take up a post elsewhere.

He worked in Micron's storage business unit, headed up by Darren Thomas: the unit responsible for helping Micron flash HW components and software play a part in storage systems from the flash solid state drive and up the stack. This includes NAND drives and the forthcoming XPoint technology.

The company has just announced a second loss-making quarter, due to poor NAND sales and margin, and announced a coming restructuring initiative which will include job losses.
