TECHNOLOGY - July 19, 1995

Ed Zschau Leaving IBM: Zschau, 55, who has run IBM’s disk storage business for more than two years, will pursue new ventures in public policy and higher education. Zschau, who represented the San Francisco Bay Area for two terms in Congress, said he will announce specific plans in coming months but that he has no plans to run for office. Zschau, a moderate Republican, nearly unseated Democratic U.S. Sen. Alan Cranston in 1986. IBM said James T. Vanderslice, head of the company’s printer business, will succeed Zschau, who will remain at IBM for the next three months. Zschau had founded System Industries, a Silicon Valley company making computer memory systems, when he was appointed head of IBM’s $5-billion storage business in April, 1993. He also taught business at Stanford and Harvard universities.
