Eight months ago, Keith Krach, the CEO of San Francisco-based DocuSign — an electronic signature company — revealed his plans to move on from the company. But even after a close call with a potential candidate, Mr. Krach is still at the helm and DocuSign is still looking for a new CEO, according to Bloomberg.
In March, it seemed as though DocuSign had finally found a fresh leader. But right before a planned public announcement of its new CEO, DocuSign cancelled event, claiming the candidate had taken a position at "another company with unlimited resources," according to the report.
That company was Google, and the candidate was Rick Osterloh, who's served as senior vice president of hardware at Alphabet since April, according to Bloomberg.
Yet the situation remains ambiguous — Mr. Osterloh didn't respond to Bloomberg's inquiries, and both Google and Mr. Krach declined to comment. DocuSign says it's still looking for potential candidates, and knowledgeable sources claim the company hopes to choose a candidate by July.
