Workday Inc., a maker of software for business tasks such as human resources, named board member Carl Eschenbach co-chief executive officer and said he will become sole CEO after Aneel Bhusri steps down from the post to become executive chairman in January 2024.
Eschenbach, 52, a partner at Sequoia Capital, replaces Chano Fernandez as co-CEO effective immediately, Workday said Tuesday in a statement. Fernandez was promoted to the post alongside co-founder Bhusri in August 2020 after six years with the Pleasanton, California-based company.
