Rumour: President and CEO of Red Hat Resigns or Removed Again (Third Time in About Three Years)



This is just a rumour at this point: (Arvind is IBM's CEO)

Arvind says Matt Hicks is moviing on[pushed]. He was just named CEO in July 2022. So he's moving on in just 13 months? Link to announcement or other corroborating evidence?



Summary: Although the comment from 5 hours ago is perfectly valid, sometimes real news starts with leakage of office gossip ("verbal memo"); has another person fallen on his sword? Matt Hicks and Paul Cormier are both in the "Corporate leadership team", but is there another shake-up?
