Jim Whitehurst is an American business executive. He has been interim chief executive officer and president of Unity Technologies since October 2023.[1][2] He was previously the president at IBM, chair of the board and chief executive officer at Red Hat, and chief operating officer at Delta Air Lines. Prior to working at Delta in 2001, he was vice president and director of the Boston Consulting Group and held various management roles at its Chicago, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Atlanta offices.
