Amid the business chaos COVID-19 is causing, IBM has set its course by installing Arvind Krishna as CEO and Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst as IBM president. The company also named Red Hat veteran Paul Cormier as CEO of Red Hat.
Krishna replaces long-time CEO Virginia Rometty, who will retire at the end of the year, and the package of executive moves solidifies the team that will lead Big Blue into to hybrid-cloud world where it will battle Amazon, Google and Microsoft.
