Jim Baum, who recently left Netezza Corp. as CEO, has moved to the CEO job at a stealthy robotics startup in Wilmington.

Baum has joined up with CasePick Systems, a CasePick staff member confirmed Monday. Baum wasn’t immediately available for comment. The move was first reported Monday by Scott Kirsner of Boston.com.

Baum left Marlborough-based Netezza in September, roughly a year after the data warehouse appliance company was bought by IBM Corp. (NYSE: IBM) for $1.7 billion. An IBM spokesperson said Baum had moved on to another business venture but didn’t provide further details.

The website for CasePick says it was founded in 2007 and employs more than 100. CasePick describes itself as a research and development company seeking to commercialize advanced robotic case-handling systems.
