McCracken, who has been the Islandia, N.Y.-based software company’s chairman, was also named chief executive on Jan. 28. He succeeded John Swainson, who announced his retirement in September.
CA has been investing in cloud computing and virtualization software, two of the hottest markets in IT. And, in his interview with Bloomberg, McCracken said CA could gain market share in both those markets without being tied to a hardware company.
