Kyndryl has announced its 2024 class of Fellows and Distinguished Engineers in recognition of their contributions to helping solve industry-wide challenges and enabling customer innovation and success.
In the UK, John Davis, Vice President, Infrastructure/Cloud Architecture, Kyndryl, has been named a Fellow for his fantastic work as Lead Architect behind Kyndryl Bridge AIOps delivered through Kyndryl Bridge. He has been a leader in the transition to an integrated analytics and insights-led service delivery model. His overall body of work as a technical leader has been central to how Kyndryl delivers services to its customers.
Kyndryl Bridge is the industry’s first open-integration technology services platform and seamlessly integrates AI, operational data and Kyndryl expertise to provide customers with a new way to operate their systems and deliver improved business outcomes. Kyndryl Bridge is estimated to have already helped early adopters avoid more than $1 billion in annual costs, including $670 million in annualised cost avoidance by preventing thousands of incidents before they occur and $370 million in annualised cost avoidance by reducing required maintenance windows.
Speaking on his customer centric approach, Davis said: “I’ve successfully resolved numerous situations for customers, often involving significant transformation or implementation challenges. I’ve always found it best to establish a robust customer relationship early on, by engaging in candid discussions to cut through to the reality of situations quickly. It is paramount to prioritise transparent communication before we get in deep to resolve a challenge.”
Davis strives to be results led: “Amid the constant barrage of distractions that we all face, what matters most is creating tangible outputs. These could include documents, presentations, code, business cases, designs or architectures. Choosing between being hands-on and leading others is its own challenge, but I believe leading by example is important to building a successful technical career.”
