BetterWorks Systems Inc., the human-resources startup that has become a poster child for the wreckage a sexual harassment scandal can inflict on a company, hired Doug Dennerline as chief executive officer to lead a comeback effort.
Dennerline, the outgoing CEO of Alfresco Software Inc., has served on BetterWorks board since last year. Bloomberg reported last month that he had been selected to replace co-founder Kris Duggan, who stepped down after a former employee accused him in a lawsuit of sexual harassment and physical assault.
