After 11 years with Newegg Inc., Lee Cheng, the longtime top lawyer at Newegg and an outspoken critic of the patent system, left the company to serve as chief operating officer at Nashville-based guitar manufacturer Gibson Brands Inc.
“I’m very proud of the work I did at Newegg,” said Cheng, who started at Gibson on Oct. 2. “Over the last couple of years, Newegg legal has been able to do some really great things, but one of the downsides of that success is that people stopped suing us.” Itching for a new challenge, Cheng said he reached out to Gibson chairman and CEO Henry Juszkiewicz, who he’d known through service on the board of directors for the Consumer Technology Association.
