About

As Senior Vice President, Transformation & Operations, I drive IBM's enterprise transformation as the company's "Client Zero" – delivering $4.5 billion in savings while demonstrating in real time how AI and hybrid cloud unleash productivity, innovation, and growth at global scale. I lead IBM's operations, procurement, CIO, Chief Data & Analytics Office, and Global Real Estate organizations, transforming how the company works first - then bringing these proven strategies to clients worldwide.I am also a champion for women in leadership and for expanding allyship across the industry. Outside of work, I have the important role of being the proud mother of twins, an active member of the Brookfield Parent Teacher Organization and Brookfield Soccer Team, and a board member of the United Way of Westchester – Putnam.
