| | | | Jack D. Kuehler, an electrical engineer who became the highest ranking technologist at IBM and guided strategy as president and later vice chairman while the company dominated the world's computing landscape in the 1980s, died on Dec. 20 in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. He was 76.
Kuehler helped shape a partnership with Apple and Motorola in an effort to create a desktop competitor based on combining IBM hardware and Apple's software expertise. The resulting PowerPC microprocessor became the basis for Apple's computers from 1994 to 2006.
Kuehler represented an engineering culture that made IBM a technology powerhouse for more than three decades at the height of its dominance in mainframe computing.
