Enterasys Networks announced the appointment of Michael Fabiaschi as President and CEO, replacing Mark Aslett, who left the company to pursue other interests. Fabiaschi joins Enterasys from CA (formerly Computer Associates), where he was a senior vice president responsible for launching its efforts in the telecommunications vertical and for its fault and performance management software business. Prior to CA, Fabiaschi was President and CEO of Aprisma, a fault and performance management company that was spun out from Enterasys in 2002 and bought by The Gores Group.
