IBM Chief Executive Officer Ginni Rometty, who had been a member of U.S. President Donald Trump’s strategy and policy advisory group, said the panel was dissolved Wednesday after members determined that it could “no longer serve the purpose for which it was formed.”
“In the past week, we have seen and heard of public events and statements that run counter to our values as a country and a company,” she wrote in an email to International Business Machines Corp. employees that was shared with Bloomberg. “Earlier today I spoke with other members of the Forum and we agreed to disband the group.”
