Ginni Rometty is stepping down from her role as CEO of IBM.  The news brings back memories of this viral photo that friend and fellow IBM Champion Joerg Rafflensbeul captured of me with Ginni at IBM Think conference in 2018.  Just more proof that the times are definitely changing.  This photo was taken shortly before HCL began getting involved with the collaboration software that ultimately led to the acquisition of Notes/Domino, Sametime, Connections and several other products that HCL is turning into profit centers as they revitalize and leap forward.  More about this in the next blog post.  Until then, as the dolphins so eloquently put it in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: “So long and thanks for all the fish.”
