NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Sam Palmisano will step down as IBM's CEO at the end
of the year and will be replaced by longtime company executive Ginni Rometty.
Palmisano's tenure was an extremely successful one: After taking the tech
giant's reins from Lou Gerstner in 2002, Palmisano transformed the company
from a systems and services firm into a supercomputing and analytics mega-
machine.
The makeover paid off. Shares have soared 73% during Palmisano's tenure and
IBM's revenues have more than quadrupled in his nearly 10 years at the helm.
Palmisano will remain as chairman of the board when Rometty takes over as
CEO on Jan 1, 2012. Rometty currently serves as IBM's senior vice president
for sales, marketing and strategy, overseeing IBM's Global Business Services
unit.
Rometty "is more than a superb operational executive," Palmisano said of his
soon-to-be replacement in a prepared statement. "She brings to the role of
CEO a unique combination of vision, client focus, unrelenting drive, and
passion for IBMers and the company's future. Ginni is the ideal CEO to lead
IBM into its second century."
Rometty, who has been an IBMer for 30 years, has been credited with
spearheading IBM's growth strategy by getting the company into the cloud
computing and analytics businesses. She has also been at the helm of
readying Watson, the Jeopardy! playing computer, for commercial use.
"There is no greater privilege in business than to be asked to lead IBM,
especially at this moment," Rometty said in a written statement. "Sam had
the courage to transform the company based on his belief that computing
technology, our industry, even world economies would shift in historic ways.
All of that has come to pass."
But for those who think Rometty will maintain the status quo at IBM, she
noted that isn't in the company's blood.
"Sam taught us, above all, that we must never stop reinventing IBM," Rometty
added.
Rometty ascension next year will mark another milestone: The nation's two
largest technology firms will be run by women. Meg Whitman took over as
Hewlett-Packard's (HPQ, Fortune 500) CEO last month, giving her oversight of
a business with annual sales that topped $126 billion last year. IBM has
annual sales of around $100 billion.
