We are Lenovo. We do what we say. We own what we do. We WOW our customers.
Lenovo is a US$83 billion revenue global technology powerhouse, ranked #153 in the Fortune Global 500, and serving millions of customers every day in 180 markets. Focused on a bold vision to deliver Smarter Technology for All, Lenovo has built on its success as the world’s largest PC company with a full-stack portfolio of AI-enabled, AI-ready, and AI-optimized devices (PCs, workstations, smartphones, tablets), infrastructure (server, storage, edge, high performance computing and software defined infrastructure), software, solutions, and services. Lenovo’s continued investment in world-changing innovation is building a more equitable, trustworthy, and smarter future for everyone, everywhere. Lenovo is listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange under Lenovo Group Limited (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY).

The Commercial Office Lead is the Chief of Staff and GM’s representative in one of the five ESMB Commercial Geos (North America, Europe and MEA, Asia Pacific, or Latin America). The role runs the Commercial Operating Office agenda locally: it carries the VP General Manager’s priorities into Geo execution, drives AI adoption and value tracking, governs Geo initiatives, and leads Geo-level communications and change.
This role applies the same integrator, AI transformation, initiative governance, and communications mandate that the Head applies across ESMB Commercial, scoped to one Geo. Each Geo Lead works in lockstep with the Head so that the Commercial organization runs one operating model across all four Geos, with local execution.
Global standards, the enterprise data model, and the AI roadmap are owned at the Head level. The Geo Lead adapts and executes them locally and does not build parallel versions.
