CDK Global has appointed a new CEO, marking a leadership transition after years of challenges for the dealership software provider. The incoming executive assumes the role following a period marked by significant cybersecurity threats, legal disputes, and a major investment in modernizing the company’s technology infrastructure. The move comes as the company navigates ongoing operational and strategic shifts in a competitive industry. Details on the new CEO’s background and immediate priorities remain unclear.
Sudhakar Ramakrishna takes over as CDK Global CEO on Oct. 5, succeeding Brian MacDonald, who led the dealership software company through cyberattacks, lawsuits and a $500 million technology overhaul.
