Wow, Rometty out as CEO of IBM in favour of Arvind Krishna. Given IBM's desultory performance it's not a surprise, but the manner of her passing is. https://www.prnewswire.com/...

IBM was my first real tech company beat at Bloomberg, just as Rometty was starting. She refused all interviews so one day I went to some speech she was giving and came up to her after, told her who I was, asked a question, then quoted her. PR was furious. https://www.bloomberg.co…

IBM press releases plays up Arvind Krishna's background as a technologist. One of the rank-and-file grumbles about Rometty was that she came from the consulting side of the business

Jim Whitehurst (former Red Hat CEO which IBM bought in 2018) will be president. There was speculation that he could get the CEO job if Rometty were to finally leave

Arvind Krishna is an IBM vet, and currently runs the company's cloud business. He's a techie. This mirrors Satya Nadella's rise to CEO at Microsoft https://twitter.com/...
