"When you are managing a spin-out, you don’t get to pack your suitcase. You only get to unpack it and figure out what parts you want to keep and which you don’t". - This is the reply of CHRO of Kyndryl, Maryjo Charbonnier when asked where did She start when tasked with spinning out Kyndryl as a new company from IBM.

Interesting article.

There was a lot of big news last week with HashiCorp announcing they are being acquired by IBM along with so many friends at Rubrik celebrating their IPO. When it comes to the HashiCorp acquisition, I am excited to see how things go. I know there was a lot of concern when IBM acquired Red Hat a few years ago and while there are some detractors I would say it's been relatively successful. I am hopeful this will continue to strengthen HashiCorp's place in the cloud and IT ecosystems and we'll see more adoption of Infrastructure as Code, Secrets Management, and so many other great things that they can offer along with the broad portfolio of IBM offerings that can be combined. I am excited to see where this roadmap goes and this will further solidify HashiCorp's validation in the marketplace and with a larger global salesforce at their disposal. A big congratulations to all of my HashiCorp counterparts. As for Rubrik, I was exposed to them very early in their growth. I still remember coming into the office one day while I was still at AHEAD and saw on social media Chris Wahl's fun announcement he was moving to Rubrik. Seeing so many amazingly skilled people go there from Phillip Johanet and John Affatati, I'm so happy for this team to finally get to the day to ring the bell on the NYSE. Here's to the continued success of Rubrik and all of the fantastic cybersecurity offerings you provide to your clients. #IPO #rubrik #hashicorp #ibm #cloud #news #inbalanceIT

This is a special weekend, #AnalystANGLE, just in time for #RedHatSummit and #Ansiblefest next week, with no official discussion of this topic. So it seemed right to prime everyone's thinking of what could be possible a year from now as IBM's acquisition of HashiCorp "should" be completed. I am also providing some analysis of the April 26th analyst briefing on the acquisition from David McJannet and Rob Thomas. Some of my insights might actually surprise you! Full story: https://lnkd.in/eqpW3YsH 🌐 IBM's acquisition of HashiCorp marks a pivotal moment for multi-cloud and hybrid cloud deployments, aligning missions for accelerated growth. 💼 Following the Red Hat model, IBM plans to operate HashiCorp independently, fostering synergies in product offerings. 🔄 Financially, increased R&D investment and cloud-hosted solutions are anticipated, leveraging IBM's extensive customer base. 🔒 Licensing discussions hint at potential adjustments, reflecting industry trends and evolving market dynamics. 🤝 Preserving HashiCorp's culture remains paramount amidst integration challenges post-acquisition closure. 💡 Implications for the cloud operating model landscape, including OpenShift versus VMware, signify a transformative phase for cloud infrastructure providers.

I had an incredibly interesting chat with Kyndryl's Kris Lovejoy about the opportunities and risks that companies are facing due to their ageing IT infrastructure, changing regulatory landscape as well as internal organisation. I really loved Kris's wit and humour (which I hope will transpire in the piece!), and I find that her insight in the industry are precious.

'Do I accelerate or Do I pause?' Many times, the answer is, you got to pause while you have accelerated, before you can take off. Yes, just like an aircraft! Recently, I got to be part of a stimulating set of conversations with our #GenZ population at Rackspace Technology!! It felt wonderful to share my journey so far and to see them all energized. And one of our rackers coined a quote by the end of it all reflecting our conversations.. 'Decouple your title growth from your career growth!' by Madhavi Rajan :) The future is bright for Rackspace Technology with our energizing #GenZs! #NextGen = #futureisbright!
