Cloud systems company Nebula has appointed Jon Mittelhauser as vice president of Engineering. Mr. Mittelhauser was co-author of the NCSA Mosaic browser,  and Netscape Navigator’s first product manager.

Most recently, Mr. Mittelhauser ran the software organization at OnLive, Inc. and had overall management responsibility for the successful launch of their service in 2010. He helped grow OnLive’s engineering organization from 20 engineers to nearly 200, and put in place the teams, processes and infrastructure necessary to launch the service to millions of users across multiple data centers and thousands of servers.

“I’m looking forward to helping to bring cloud technologies to the enterprise,” said Mittelhauser. “I firmly believe that Nebula will transform enterprise computing as much as the Web has.”

Nebula co-founder Devin Carlen will now serve as Chief Technology Officer.
