Tom Krause

In September, Tom Krause officially started his new role as CEO of Cloud Software Group, the parent organization of Tibco and Citrix, according to his LinkedIn account.

Before he joined CSG—the result of private equity firms taking Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based Citrix private and merging it with Palo Alto, Calif.-based Tibco—Krause was president of Broadcom Software.

Krause was slated to lead VMware after Broadcom’s $61 billion acquisition of the company, but announced his departure in July to instead lead the combined Citrix-Tibco.

Krause first joined Broadcom in 2012 and became its CFO a few years later. In 2020, he was promoted to lead the chip company’s six software divisions as president of Broadcom’s Software Group, which he helped form.
