For nearly thirty years, I've led large-scale technology and business transformation across global enterprises — a career that has taught me that the interesting challenges are rarely the ones you see coming.At IBM and later Kyndryl, the Fortune 500 technology services company spun out of IBM in 2021, I led increasingly large and complex businesses serving Fortune 500 clients across healthcare, retail, transportation, financial services, and other industries. As President of Kyndryl's U.S. market, the company's largest, I led a $4B business and more than 15,000 professionals through corporate separation and large-scale transformation during a critical period as a newly independent enterprise.Having lived and worked across multiple countries, I know that successful transformation depends as much on human alignment and adaptability as it does on strategy and execution.What I've learned about leading large-scale change is that strategy is rarely the problem. Transformations falter when the people responsible for execution lack clarity on what they're being asked to do, why it matters, and how to make it happen. Leaders feel the urgency. Teams often feel the uncertainty. And too often, frustration fills the space where empathy and clarity should be. That's the gap I've spent my career learning to close.Today I serve on the Board of Directors of FedEx Freight, now an independent public company. I advise leadership teams and boards on corporate separations, technology transformation, and large-scale operational change — helping organizations create value and lead through uncertainty. I speak on leading through disruption, building future-ready organizations, and what it actually takes to develop and lift the next generation of leaders. I believe technology will continue to reshape every industry, and that human judgment, resilience, adaptability, and leadership will matter more because of it, not less.📍 New York City | Madrid, Spain✉️ Amy.J.Salcido@gmail.com
