The final chapter in Hitachi Data Systems is now finished.
Brad Surak, Brian Householder and Scott Kelly were the architects of the implosion of a once great company. All are gone now as are the many people they directly laid to waste in their disastrous efforts to transform the company. Brad Surak stands out though because it was his incompetence and misrepresentations that led to the layoffs of so many people as a veil to his own weakness. He charmed Japan until they finally had enough and there was no one left to blame. So many people have been directly impacted by his actions that it feels almost criminal.
