Insignia Solutions Ltd has appointed former Symantec Corp executive vice-president Robert Lee as its new presdent and chief executive, and has moved its corporate headquarters from High Wycombe, Berkshire in the UK to Mountain View, California. Most of Insignia’s customers are in the US and its new chief executive lives there. Former chief executive Nicholas Samuel will retain the position of non-executive chairman of the company and will remain in England. Insignia says research and development will remain in the UK and no staff will be transferred. The company has 170 employees, 110 in the UK, of which 60 or 70 are engineers. The US operation will oversee development of strategic relationships – chief financial officer Roger Friedburger is based there too. Insignia has a small office in Boston serving the East coast.
