Hansen was previously senior vice president for CA's 1,400-employee worldwide presales division. Prior to CA, Hansen was in charge of information technology for the Canadian division of Bowater, a producer of newsprint and market pulp.

In May, Mark Barrenechea, CA's chief technology officer, left the company to become a director of Garnett & Helfrich Capital, a private-equity firm.
