My Take
Ginni Rometty earns my deep admiration. Rising from an engineering background to become the first woman to lead IBM after nearly forty years there is no small feat, especially steering a legacy giant through the turbulence of a changing tech era. What impresses me most is the substance over spectacle; she was a technologist who understood the machine she was running, not merely a figurehead. Reshaping an institution that old is thankless, difficult work, and she shouldered it with quiet resolve. Leaders of her caliber deserve far more recognition than they tend to receive.
