“First, the IT industry is often seen as the ‘New Black’, with many opportunities promising to bring big changes in how we do business and generate value. But while AI holds promise, I think we need to challenge the industry a bit. Some AI practices have already proven valuable, and competitive edge through AI has been discussed for over a decade now, but I also don’t want us to overlook innovation in traditional IT services like managed services... My reflection is that AI is promising, but we need to focus on practical examples of how it can create real value and innovation.”

“One habit that has helped me through my life is my commitment to lifelong learning. I spend a lot of time reading and comparing industry benchmarks. I actively engage with both internal and external resources to stay informed about AI trends, and I enjoy bouncing ideas off of customers and experts within Lenovo. It’s a practice that has kept me constantly learning and adapting.”

“At the end of the day as management, we need to align the team [while also] celebrating the success of the team. [Of course], I should also be candid to the team in terms of what can actually be done better. [When we don’t get the results we hope for, I wonder how] we can get the team aligned, readjusted and refocused to make the next step.”

“With so many things changing, sometimes we lose a little bit of focus. It’s always good for us to look at whether both feet are on the ground. [I always wonder] how we can move towards while being truthful to oneself and continue striving to achieve what needs to be done.”
