While details of the sudden departure of Kamar Aulakh, CEO of Quark, Incorporated, have been scanty at best, the news has begun to make it around the electronic world.
A quick read of these—which are all just the Quark-issued press release, in whole or in fragments—seem to endorse the conventional wisdom that Quark had entered a new, customer-focused regime under Aulakh.
The reasons behind Aulakh’s leaving remain a mystery at this hour.

- “Quark CEO abruptly leaves post”, ZDNet
- “Quark Parts Ways with CEO”, Publish
- “Quark CEO Departs, Replacement Search Underway”, AppleInsider
- “Quark CEO Gone”, Graphic Exchange News, Canada
- “Quark Initiates Search for CEO”, dBusiness News, Denver
The ultimate effect on DTP and the status of Quark as a going concern, of course, remain to be seen.

Well, that would certainly speak to the suddenness and secretiveness over which this has precipitated. Cancer being such a personal thing to have to deal with, many people prefer to deal with that amongst themselves and thier loved ones and close associates.
If that’s the case, I with Mr Aulakh all the good wishes in the world.
