Docker has announced that CEO Steve Singh is stepping down to be replaced by former Hortonworks CEO Rob Bearden. Bearden will take position in June, bringing more than 20 years of experience in the software world stemming from stints at Hortonworks, SpringSource, and JBoss. Steve Singh will continue to serve as Docker’s Chairman after the transition.

Bearden who is replacing Singh notably built Hortonworks prior to its merger with Cloudera, to be the first open source company to successfully go public since Red Hat. He’s joining Docker at a time the company says it’s “experiencing strong momentum” in the enterprise software market. More than 750 commercial customers currently make use of Docker’s flagship product, Docker Enteprise, a leader in the “enterprise container platform” industry.

Steve Singh who is stepping down has quite an impressive résumé. He previously served as CEO of Concur Technologies, an SaaS company acquired for $8.3 billion by SAP in 2014, and has also served on the boards of DocuSign, Talend, and Conerstone OnDemand.
