Global Ecosystem Manager
Pros: Had an awesome 20+ year career with about 8 different jobs that let me grow in many different directions. I always had a focus on strategic partnerships because as big as IBM is, it can't do everything on its own and its ecosystem is an economy unto itself! I loved working with other IBMers and business partners and was able to have tremendous creative expression that led to business results I am proud of to this day! Great place to grow and develop.
Cons: From 2010 to 2015, Ginny the CEO inherited an aggressive profit target that was unachievable as the company did not realize Revenue growth. It took a bit long for the leadership team to realize it and adjust, but hopefuly they will realize growth again soon. The focus on Acquisitions is necessary but Mergers should be considered as well to move the top line more aggressively.
