Graphic design software company Quark Inc. named a new president and CEO, more than a year after the job was abruptly vacated. Raymond Schiavone most recently was president and CEO of publishing software company Arbortext Inc.

The privately held Denver company, which is known for its desktop software program, announced in June 2005 that CEO Kamar Aulakh had left the company. Aulakh’s tenure as head of the company was short-lived; he became CEO in February 2005.

No reason was given for Aulakh’s departure, and the responsibility of running the company fell on an interim basis to Linda Chase, senior vice president of commerce product development.

With the announcement of Schiavone’s arrival, Chase will continue in her previous role.
