New Google CIO from Morgan Stanley : Benjamin Fried

April 24th, 2008 by Loren Baker, Editor | No Comments

Google has named a new chief information officer after the departure of Douglas Merrill to EMI Records earlier in the month. Benjamin Fried, who led the Morgan Stanlet Application Infrastructure group, will be taking the CIO position in May.

Fried, who worked for Morgan Stanley computing operations for nearly 14 years, has experience in the area, though. According to the memo, he worked on Morgan Stanley’s first Web site, its workstation software, and its intranet.

CNet reports that Fried has a long history with Google and helped them with the big Google IPO back in 2004
