IBM Services Business Unveils New Post-Split Name: Kyndryl
The $19 billion managed infrastructure services business will be based in New York City and operate under the name Kyndryl once it separates from IBM later this year. By Michael Novinson April 12, 2021, 11:17 AM EDT
IBM has settled on a new name for its $19 billion managed infrastructure services business once it’s spun out from Big Blue later this year: Kyndryl.
The Armonk, N.Y.-based technology giant revealed Monday that Kyndryl will be based in New York City and adopt a logo with the company’s name written in red and entirely in lowercase. The spinout of the 4,600-client Kyndryl business is expected to occur by the end of 2021, more than a year after the separation plan was first unveiled.
Two veteran IBM executives with global experience have been tapped to lead the company’s IT management and infrastructure business, once that is eventually spun out.
IBM picked Elly Keinan as group president of NewCo., which is expected to be named later. Keinan has previously worked as general manager of IBM North America, general manager of IBM Latin America, and chairman of IBM Japan, during his 30 year tech career. Keinan was most recently a partner with Pitango Venture Capital, Israel’s leading venture capital group.
NewCo’s chief marketing officer will be Maria Bartolome Winans. The 25-year company veteran, has been the chief marketing officer for IBM Americas, responsible for demand generation across the U.S., Canada, and Latin America. She has also led marketing teams for IBM Watson’s business, as well as IBM’s software unit.
