IBM CEO Arvind Krishna credited Whitehurst for assuming a critical part Red Hat’s incorporation with IBM and being instrumental in articulating IBM’s procedure.
Whitehurst stays with IBM as a senior guide to Krishna and the remainder of the organization’s chief authority group. IBM presently can’t seem to name his substitution.
