Former Bank of America CTO Howard Boville is joining IBM to oversee the cloud business, new IBM CEO Arvind Krishna announced Monday. Boville will join May 1 as Senior Vice President of Cloud Platform.
Boville “is a proven strategist and expert in the realm of cloud and has played a critical role in developing the financial services ready public cloud with IBM,” Krishna wrote in a letter to IBM employees.
Late last year, IBM said it was collaborating with Bank of America to design a public cloud tailored to meet the specific needs of the financial services industry, such as regulatory and privacy requirements.
