Lenovo ISG Asia Pacific president Sumir Bhatia said McCloskey’s appointment is a “crucial step” in advancing its data centre business in the region.
“His arrival coincides with our strategic efforts to drive intelligent transformation. John's expertise and seasoned leadership will play a vital role in positioning Lenovo as the most trusted end-to-end technology partner and fostering successful customer and alliance partnerships,” Bhatia said.
