As CMO for Johnson Controls, I am responsible for all enterprise activities related to conceptualizing and implementing marketing strategies to create, capture, convert and expand demand across the JCI business and to enhance brand equity, including achieving marketing targets through in-depth market development, research and planning. Any day with a client or a partner is a good day. Prior to joining Johnson Controls, I was CMO for IBM Americas, where I led all aspects of Marketing for IBM across the US, Canada and Latin America, with direct responsibility for marketing sourced revenue, demand generation and our geography marketing professionals. Spent the days working with IBM sellers, ecosystem partners, and marketers to generate demand, progress opportunities and help customers solve business problems with great technology. Prior to that role, I was responsible for IBM Cloud and Cognitive Software Marketing in the Americas, focusing on field and channel marketing and demand generation. Business units include IBM Public Cloud, Data & AI, Automation, AI Apps and IBM Security. All the rest is below!
