Kyndryl, the independent company emerging following the separation of IBM’s managed infrastructure services business, announced the global leadership that’s going to steer the spin-off company into the future.
The new business, headquartered in New York City, was given the Kyndryl name back in April, six months after IBM officially said goodbye to its managed infrastructure services business. On July 1, it announced the leaders that will represent Kyndryl globally.
