SANgate will not appeal the decision, according to a company spokesperson. Mr. Kempel is not eligible to return to the company until August 2002. He was introduced to SANgate through board member Erel Margalit, a managing partner at Jerusalem Venture Partners. <br<<br<SANgate is still debating how to respond to this development. For now, Paul Feresten, vice president of marketing and development, is overseeing day-to-day operations, and the board, which is handling all other responsibilities, is meeting to decide how SANgate's future management team will be composed. The board is expected to announce its decision within a few days.<br<<br<The spokesperson said the board is weighing several options, including a new chairman and CEO, an interim executive, or an internal promotion. <br<<br<This is not the first management shake-up at SANgate this year. During the first half of 2001, Mr. Feresten was promoted to president and chief operating officer from vice president of sales and marketing when former CEO, Alan Davis, left the company through a mutual decision with the board. Mr. Feresten had relinquished those duties upon Mr. Kempel's appointment.<br<<br<SANgate is backed by Battery Ventures and Jerusalem Venture Partners. It was co-founded in January 2000 by chief technology officer, Samek Mokryn, and vice president of engineering, Alex Winokur.</font<<br<<br< <a href="http://www.sangate.com" target="_new"<<font face='arial,helvetica' size='2'<http://www.sangate.com<;/font<</a< </td<</tr<</table<<br< <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0<<tr<<td<• <a name="vwHHNIHJJJJI"<<b<<font face='arial,helvetica' size="2"<Mahi Loses CEO, Sequoia's Chris Rust is Interim Chief</font<</b<</a<</td<<td align="right"<<a href="#vwHHNIHJJJJIx"<<img src="http://venturewire.com/images/arrow.gif" border="0" height="11" width="11" alt="top"<</a< <a href="http://people.venturewire.com/o_mailer.asp?sid=HHNIHJJJJI" target=NEW<<img src="http://venturewire.com/images/mail2.gif" border="0" height="10" width="15" alt="mail"<</a< </td<</tr< <tr<<td colspan=2<<font face="verdana, arial, geneva, helvetica" size="2"<PETALUMA, CALIF -- Mahi Netowrks, a developer of an optical transport switch router, said CEO Greg Peters has left the company.
