IBM chief: Big Blue is committed to future in Scotland

IBM’s first female executive at the helm of the company’s giant operation in Greenock yesterday told The Herald that Big Blue was “absolutely committed to a future in Scotland”, and that she intends to use her new position to lead the way to a “smarter planet”.

Linda O’Donoghue, who was last month appointed as the first female site executive at IBM’s Renfrewshire plant, also said the company’s transformation from computer maker to a global conglomerate focused on services had been misunderstood.
