VP & GM, Lenovo Greater Asia Pacific @ Lenovo

About

As Vice President and General Manager for Lenovo Greater Asia Pacific, I’m focused on delivering technology that serves people — advancing outcomes, not just advancing specs. With nearly two decades of leadership experience across Asia, I’ve worked across cultures, markets, and business cycles, leading change in both mature and emerging economies. My journey at Lenovo spans 17+ years and multiple leadership roles, shaping our evolution from a product-first mindset to a solutions-led approach across the region. I believe in clear, honest leadership. I don’t oversimplify what’s complex but I do believe complexity shouldn’t cloud action. My approach is direct and grounded in what teams actually face on the ground. I work with teams to move beyond noise and trends, toward focus, alignment, and tangible progress. What sets me apart is a practical eye for how emerging technologies, such as AI, can be applied in ways that are both relevant now and sustainable for the future. I bring experience, yes, but also curiosity and a drive to keep adapting. I'm motivated by the challenge of turning forward-looking ideas into results that matter: for customers, for teams, and for the business as a whole.
