Janet Perna of IBM Announces Retirement

I heard today that Janet Perna is planning to retire from IBM after 31 years with the company. Janet is general manager of Information Management Solutions, which is responsible for the DB2 DBMS and IBM's growing data warehousing and business intelligence set of products (including those acquired from Ascential Software). She will be replaced by Ambuj Goyal, who is currently general manager of Lotus Workplace, Portal and Collaboration Software. I think all of those who know Janet would agree that she has made a tremendous contribution to our industry, and I wish her well in her retirement.

What's the wager that she's the head of Oracle or Sun after the next batch of quarterly results?

Janet is a great leader. I hope she doesn't go to Oracle or Sun.

One of the comments I heard her say indicated that showing up at Oracle is not likely to happen. You'd better get very long odds. She did not mention Sun. Also she said that the LPGA is not on the list.
