Compete Lead, US Subsidiary (CSI Lead)."

CSI=Commercial Software Initiative

"The core mission of CSI is to win share against Linux and
OpenOffice.org by designing and driving marketing programs, changing
perceptions, engaging with Open Source communities and organizations,
and drive internal readiness on how to compete with Commercial Linux
and participate with Open Source Communities."
