International Business Machines Corp., the largest computer-services provider, sued a former technology services manager to keep her from working at Oracle Corp., saying the new position violates a non-compete clause.
Joanne Olsen, a 31-year veteran of IBM, left the company this month to become a senior vice president at Oracle, according to the suit, filed June 16. As a general manager in IBM’s technology services division, Olsen knew about IBM’s growth strategies and potential acquisitions, the company said.
