How Inktomi makes finance fast. The man with a plan for profit is Jerry Kennelly, Inktomi's CFO and senior vice president of finance. In 1980, he joined Tandem Computers Inc. as its worldwide sales and marketing controller, before taking a job with Oracle as its controller for U.S. operations. He later moved to Sybase, eventually becoming vice president of corporate finance. In November 1996, he left Sybase to join Inktomi, which was still a pre-IPO startup.
