Andrew Higginbotham, the CenturyLink exec who helped bring that telco into the modern cloud computing era, is leaving the company after 14 years, Gigaom has learned.
Higginbotham, who was SVP of cloud and technology, led CenturyLink's $3.2 billion acquisition of Savvis in 2011 and subsequent purchases of AppFog, Tier 3 and DataGardens, all deals done to build the company's cloud-and-services portfolio.
