In spite of the chance of being named the next CEO within several years, Zia Yusuf chose to leave SAP in the fall of 2009. He spent the next six months or so as an executive-in-residence for just two leading venture capital firms, joined the board of many businesses, and did some freelance consulting.
This upgrade briefly investigates Yusuf's decision to become CEO at Streetline, a firm that patented sensor technology to provide parking alternatives, and how this struggling startup turned, on the brink of closing, into a promising industry pioneer.
