Bio

I am responsible for business results and our clients’ success across Public Sector: Healthcare Payers and Providers, Life Sciences, State and Local Government, Education, and our Federal clients in National Security and Defense, Civilian, and Federal Systems Integrators and partners. I previously led IBM Financial Services and was the GM for our IBM Asia Pacific region and over 100,000 employees. My focus is on ensuring clients are able to benefit from IBM and partner solutions, services and talent to accelerate their digital transformation journeys, enhanced client experience, and deliver on their mission objectives. IBM's purpose is to be a catalyst that makes the world work better and solve the world’s biggest challenges. My passions are working with enterprise, Government and Federal clients, partners and IBMers to drive business outcomes and competitive advantage from innovative technologies including Hybrid Cloud, Data, Analytics, AI, Quantum, and Cyber Security. By helping teams apply design thinking approaches to business and technology transformations, we help ensure that they have the skills required for future success. As a life-long advocate of continual learning, I am also committed to building inclusive and diverse teams, including supporting women looking to pursue a career in STEM and future leadership roles. Over the last three decades since joining IBM as a Memory Component Engineer while still studying, I have worked across the depth and breadth of the IBM business globally. I have leadership experience in bridging technical, enterprise applications, services delivery, business process transformation and consulting, organizational leadership, and strategic operations and governance. Memberships in the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), Girls Who Code, Eta Kappa Nu, IEEE Engineering Society, and the IBM Executive Women Leadership Council and twice by Fortune magazine: ‘Next Gen Most Powerful Women’ and ‘Most Powerful International Women’ and SG100WIT - Singapore top 100 women in technology give me opportunities to learn and collaborate to be a better leader.
