“The Premier 100 awards program shines a well-deserved spotlight on a stellar group of IT executives,” said Scot Finnie, editor in chief ofComputerworld. “In today’s business climate, IT executives must act quickly to recognize and manage risks throughout their organizations. These 100 men and women have demonstrated an ability to make those clear-sighted decisions that help their IT organizations innovate and deliver business value. Whatever comes their way in 2012, these IT leaders have the skills, the savvy and the judgment to meet the challenge. We’re pleased to recognize their leadership and honor their achievements.”
Wang has led the charge for Lenovo’s business growth and continued global success since her appointment as CIO 2009. Her main objectives included migrating away from legacy systems, building new systems to support business needs, along with creating a global IT team capable of working effectively across cultures. Her insight and expertise into the Lenovo business and company culture, gained throughout her 17-year career with the company, were direct contributors to her success in delivering three major SAP releases on schedule and on budget.
About the Premier 100
The Premier 100 program was created in 2000 to spotlight individuals who have had a positive impact on their organizations through technology. These are individuals who manage internal IT organizations, mentor and motivate their IT teams and business colleagues, create a positive work environment, envision innovative solutions to business challenges and effectively manage and execute IT strategies. Each year, nominees are invited to complete a questionnaire that addresses a number of topics, including their background and experience and their attitude toward risk and innovation. Using Computerworld’s IT Leader Index, which is a measurement of how closely an individual matches our definition of the IT Leader, we analyze the data. Each year, 100 honorees are selected to receive this life-time recognition award. Information on previous honorees can be viewed at:www.computerworld.com/s/article/9065479/Premier_100_IT_Leaders
