Kony Appoints Former IBM CTO as its New CTO

Categories: IBM, Kony

KonyHomepage

Mobile app specialist Kony announced yesterday it has brought on Bill Bodin as CTO.

Prior to his new appointment, Bodin worked for nine years as CTO for IBM’s Mobile Computing CIO group. Throughout his 27-year career at IBM, Bodin served as a programmer, a senior technical staff member, and was recognized as a Distinguished Engineer and Master Inventor at the company.

Bodin holds many patents and is the creator of multiple technical developments at IBM:

  • Creator and thought leader for IBM Catalyst, a mobile development accelerator framework
  • Led in the developemnt of WhirlWind, IBM’s first Enterprise Mobile App Store
  • Led in the creation of n.Fluent, IBM’s text-translation service
  • Led as chief architecht for Media Library

In a press release, Dave Shirk, Kony’s president of products, strategy and marketing, describes Bodin as “an extremely well-respected technology visionary leader with an incredible reputation and depth of knowledge and expertise in the enterprise mobility space.”

Kony’s solutions enables banks to design and develop and visualize device-agnostic applications deployed across multiple channels. Earlier this month, the Florida-based company partnered with Cognizant, which will integrate Kony’s mobile app design capabilities into its offerings. In July of 2015, Kony released the newest version of MobileFabric 6.5 which enables developers to use any open framework to build applications.

At FinovateFall 2011, Kony debuted its commercial banking suite.
