Computer Associates International Inc says it has hired Jacques Reboul, president of Bull France, to head its European services operations. Prior to taking the Bull position, Reboul was president-director general of Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG. CA has been looking to solidify its global professional services business since its failed takeover bid for Computer Sciences Corp, and has begun to execute a strategy of smaller acquisitions. Reboul’s appointment comes on the heels of its acquisition of Realogic Inc (CI No 3,468), an international consulting firm, which was the first in a series of planned purchases to broaden the offerings of capabilities of the GPS unit.
