The TechChannel team is pleased to announce its fourth class of TechChannel Rising Stars—those who have worked on IBM Z or IBM Power for five years or fewer but are already making a significant impact on their company, their colleagues and the IT ecosystem as a whole. 

With 23 honorees, this year’s class of Rising Stars is our biggest yet. In this content experience, you’ll get to know a group of IT newcomers who are making significant technical and community-building contributions to their platforms, from AI and modernization projects to DEIB and user research.

This year’s Rising Stars join a crop of 53 former honorees who have gone on to become IBM Champions, serve as mentors to newer talent and make a positive impact at their companies.

Please join me in congratulating these up-and-coming IT innovators and leaders.
