IBM has a very solid business image.

What has always made IBM a fascinating and compelling place for me is the passion of the company, and its people, to apply technology and scientific thinking to major societal issues.

We can learn from IBM's successful history that you don't have to have the best product to become number one. You don't even have to have a good product.

Every time we've moved ahead in IBM, it was because someone was willing to take a chance, put his head on the block, and try something new.

As a company grows, its purpose grows with it. It has the potential to evolve your purpose.

IBM's long-standing mantra is 'Think.' What has always made IBM a fascinating and compelling place for me, is the passion of the company, and its people, to apply technology and scientific thinking to major societal issues.

IBM has taken a leadership role in this area and is prepared to be a technology partner with companies around the world to take advantage of these new developments.

The amazing thing about IBM is that it's a company where I have had 10 different careers - local jobs, global jobs, technology jobs, industry jobs, financial services, insurance, start-ups, big scale. The network of talent around you is phenomenal.

The next thing is: we can make IBM even better. We brought IBM back but we're gunning for leadership.

I have been competing against IBM my whole career. It's a good company, with good management and a good team.
