Gutmans, originally from Israel, was previously senior VP for R&D and alliances at Zend. He had written PHPv3 and the Zend Engine, the core of PHPv4, together with Zeev Suravski. Together they founded Zend (a combination of their first names) in 1999. In the announcement of his appointment, Gutmans re-emphasized the firm's commitment to the Open Source community.
