With over 20 years of experience in global technology strategy, sales, GTM planning, and partner marketing, I am a senior business, sales and category leader who focuses on delivering growth and value for Lenovo and its customers. As the Managing Director - Global Accounts, I oversee the relationship and performance of Lenovo's largest and most strategic global accounts ($13T+ valuation), spanning multiple regions. I have a proven track record of leading data-driven strategies, processes, partnerships, and alignment across matrixed sales and marketing organizations. Before joining Lenovo, I have successfully delivered 25M+ Windows active devices per year in US/Canada, contributing $16B+ in revenue across the Windows retailer and OEM ecosystem.
