- IBM's new CEO Arvind Krishna joins "Squawk Alley" to discuss the coronavirus, c-suite and more.
IBM’s new CEO, Arvind Krishna, said on Monday that the spread of coronavirus could push companies to speed up their adoption of modern technologies like artificial intelligence and cloud.
Those two areas are among the bigger opportunities for IBM, which remains active in more traditional categories like mainframe computers and database software. But IBM has lagged far behind cloud leaders Amazon and Microsoft in market share, while in AI the company has been criticized for overpromising while Google has upstaged it with major feats like beating the world’s best Go player and deploying AI to improve its data center operations.
Unlike predecessor Ginni Rometty, Krishna has experience running IBM’s cloud organization, and in an interview with CNBC’s Jon Fortt he said he doesn’t wish to dwell on the past.
The world is just 20% in to cloud, Krishna said, and it has taken advantage of just 4% of the potential for productivity in AI, said Krishna, who joined IBM in 1990. Monday is Krishna’s first day as the chief of IBM, where he replaced Ginni Rometty. IBM announced the leadership change two months ago.
IBM itself has made technological changes to help around 95% of its employees to work from home so they avoid furthering the spread of coronavirus, he said. IBM employees have spent more than a million hours on video conferences in the past few weeks. Employees have over 200,000 virtual private network connections, the company has distributed half a million laptops and hundreds of thousands of mobile devices, along with enabling hundreds of data centers, Krishna said.
“When we look at the usage of AI and cloud, I think it is especially going to accelerate also not just us, but how our clients are going to go on their digital transformations,” Krishna said. “And I believe this crisis is only going to accelerate that as we go over the next few months.” He pointed to assets IBM can offer thanks to its acquisition of Red Hat, including Linux containers for packaging software code on machines and Kubernetes for managing containers.
Krishna said he wouldn’t talk about how exactly COVID-19 has impacted IBM’s financial performance.

IBM gave IIT Kanpur it's first computer when it started. IIT Kanpur paid off by giving it a CEO.

🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤭🤭🤭
Wishing Mr. Arvind all the best, not easy times but I hope he finds his way to break through.
after google, microsoft,adobe, nokia, and now iBM...proud of india,, and poor mee not indian..
In last 20 years a lot of emphasis was on quantity instead of quality
How much American CEO's are there of Indian companies?
NOT AMERICANS BUT BRITISH CEO OF TATA MOTORS ,LAND ROVER JAGUAR
Indians are also CEO in British,Canadian and Australian companies.
Cloud, AI. Architecture - Linux, containers, Kubernetes.
My first 10 years with IBM I heard over and over from IBM's customers that they choose IBM over its competitors because they knew they could rely on IBM employees to always go above and beyond to meet their needs. This starting changing when IBM decided that stockholder profit was the only reason for its existence. As IBM employees started to see that they were just an expendable commodity they lost the incentive to put customer needs before themselves.
Boost up services....Not much attention put on services in the past 8-10 years...
Big Wake-up call for the American Education center. We here in America can re-focus our school system, to emphasize Science, Technology , Engineering & Mathematics to 'Make America Smart Again'.
IBM failed because of its work culture which was destroyed and altered after Mr. Watson resigned from CEO
IBM is now an Indian company. Work force might possible be mostly there as well.
Very interesting.

Is that Pyramid old of a company still around ..... he look as ol as a typewriter ....only IBM cannot find a young Indian coder .... jeeesus.....
Old is Gold dude. He is the CEO, not a programmer. CEOs are on the top of the corporate ladder. It's about running a Corporate company and not just coding or Programming.
Young Indian coder like Satya Nadella? Or Shantanu Narayen? Or Ajaypal Singh Banga? Ahhh... or you meant like you? Unless a founder CEOs are rarely young usually 40 plus. That's why young people start their own companies: Jobs, Gates, Ajaypal Singh Banga
He's so full of crap and I don't believe a word he says. He acts like they are untouched or un-interrupted. Lies, lies, lies!!!
