He joined Kyndryl in 2023 having served as SVP, Professional Services and Sales Engineering at Precisely. these advances risk undermining the very sustainability gains companies like Kyndryl seek.
Kyndryl’ s AI governance framework is designed to manage privacy, operational integrity and energy use.“ You have to put a framework and guidelines to build it in a sustainable way,” Faith says. The system sets boundaries for developing both internal and external AI solutions, factoring in energy consumption and environmental impact.
Giovanni underscores the importance of flexibility and customer choice.“ The ability to leverage our entire ecosystem gives the best optionality to our customer base, ensuring efficiency, security and sustainability,” he explains.
For clients, this means the option to develop AI solutions in scalable, energy-efficient public cloud environments, then shift to on-premises deployments optimised for reduced energy consumption and data privacy. Kyndryl delivers value by serving as a trusted advisor, drawing on decades of experience running mission-critical systems.
What AI brings to sustainability Kyndryl claims a unique position in its ability to both create and run sustainable solutions.“ A lot of consultants only give you the strategy. We help you run, transform and optimise your ecosystem, and most importantly, keep it running year after year,” Faith says.
