Boston tech moves fast, and rapidly-scaling companies need fresh leadership to keep their ideas innovative and their teams in step.
That’s why leadership consistently changes in Boston tech. March was no exception: at least three startups experienced major leadership shake-ups, bringing on new members to their teams. Check them out below.
Waltham-based tech company, Lionbridge, announced the appointment of Ken Watson as chief technology officer (CTO) this month. Watson, an 11-year Microsoft veteran, brings over two decades of tech experience to the role; most recently, he was CTO of fintech company Ipreo.

Following the company’s recent seed investment round, Waltham-based Dover Microsystems is growing its team with three key hires across sales, finance and marketing.
