CDK Global has appointed a new CEO to steer the dealership software company through ongoing challenges, including recent cybersecurity threats and legal disputes. The transition follows a major $500 million technology upgrade under the outgoing leader’s tenure. Industry observers will watch how the incoming executive navigates the company’s recovery and strategic direction amid lingering operational risks.
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.
