strategy and directing IBM's software business. IBM's software business

global service lines. In addition, Robert is the leader of the
company's SOA efforts, directing the strategy around industry IP,
skills and enablement.

development, marketing, services, and sales professionals spanning more
than 25 locations worldwide, and is responsible for IBM's WebSphere
portfolio and other strategic middleware technologies, including Web

integration technology, e-commerce servers, and industry-oriented

of these organizations into the IBM SOA portfolio.
