CPQ In search of--> IBM Exec Pulls Out Of Running For Top Compaq Post Jim: Now here is smart 'feller' if I have ever seen one,don't you think? ======================== (04/19/99, 4:19 p.m. ET) By Edward F. Moltzen, Computer Reseller News A top IBM executive has taken himself out of the running in the search for a new CEO at Compaq. Samuel Palmisano, IBM senior vice president in charge of the computer giant's IBMGlobal Services unit, said he does not want the Compaq CEO job that was made vacant by the resignation of Eckhard Pfeiffer. "As you can imagine, I have no interest in pursuing this opportunity," Palmisano told CRN. It is not the first time Palmisano's name has been floated as a potential CEO of another top computer company. In 1997, following the resignation of Gilbert Amelio as CEO at Apple, Palmisano's name came up publicly, and he similarly said he had no interest in that post. At that time, Palmisano was overseeing the IBM Personal Systems Group that includes the company's PC business. Since then, Palmisano has consistently said he is not interested in discussing other positions, inside IBM or outside. Palmisano's services group at IBM has a $40 billion backlog in contracts and has topped the $30 billion-a-year mark in revenue. Earlier in the day, Compaq chairman Ben Rosen, who is heading up the search for a new CEO, said the company was looking for an "aggressive" executive to replace Pfeiffer.
