Pratt appointed president as Wilson exits Wavefront

Article Abstract:

Alias Wavefront will have Warren Pratt as new president after Penny Wilson resigned to pursue other interests, said a company spokesman. Pratt used to be Silicon Graphics (SGI)' vice president of Silicon Interactive before his new appointment. While Wilson has reportedly not made any next step after Alias Wavefront, sources hinted that she could follow the moves of former Alias executives. Rob Burgess and Brain Allum, both former Alias presidents, have ventured to Internet software firm Macromedia. Wilson's departure is also believed to be related to a restructuring program planned by SGI CEO Rick Belluzo.

Microsoft Corp.'s Bill Gates is actively involved in developing a new range of PC-TVs in cooperation with computer giants Compaq and Intel.
