Docker's new CEO is former Oracle Cloud exec Don Johnson
Docker has announced a new CEO, appointing Oracle Cloud Infrastructure executive vice president Don Johnson to the hotseat immediately.
Developer tooling and containerization company Docker has a new CEO: Former Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) executive vice president Don Johnson (pictured above) landed in the hotseat starting Wednesday. Incumbent Scott Johnston will leave the company with immediate effect.
During his eight-year spell at Oracle, Johnson was instrumental in transitioning the company from its legacy on-premise roots to the cloud, setting up the OCI unit, and spearheading the company’s resurgence these past few years.
Prior to Oracle, Johnson worked as an engineer at AWS since the inception of Amazon’s cloud division.
Docker is seeking such credentials as it looks to expand into areas across the whole “development life cycle,” including cloud-based services.
