We tracked a duo of new CEO announcements today, both at companies in the mobile sector.
—Aylus Networks, a Westford, MA-based developer of technology to help mobile operators manage video data on their networks, announced Mark Edwards will be joining the company as CEO. Edwards comes from the helm of mobile device management software company Mformation Technologies. He replaces founder Shamim Naqvi, who will serve as chairman and chief technology officer at the startup, which raised $5.7 million in November.
—Waltham, MA-based Pyxis Mobile, a maker of enterprise platforms for managing mobile applications, said it is bringing on Steven Levy to take over the role of CEO from Bob Mazzarella, who will stay on as chairman of the company’s board. Previously, Levy co-founded and led Macgregor, a maker of order management systems.
