3. Arvind Krishna, IBM
IBM is making some top leadership changes, led by the promotion of Rob Thomas to chief commercial officer. Chairman and CEO Arvind Krishna made waves on Thursday when he announced several executive changes.
The leadership updates come just after the recent launch of IBM’s new Partner Plus program.
Tom Rosamilia, a 40-year company veteran, is retiring. Besides IBM Software, Rosamilia has led various groups, including IBM Systems, corporate strategy, mainframe and the company’s Power systems.
“Tom has been a key leader with a strong track record of success across software and systems, holding many high-profile leadership roles and delivering outstanding business results,” Krishna wrote in a post announcing several executive moves.
