consultant working with Lenovo to help the company make more accessible,
smarter technology products for all, creating greater awareness for the
disabled community and helping promote a more inclusive society.
She will provide ongoing counsel to Lenovo's leadership and teams around

initiatives, offer guidance on inclusive product design and development, and
help it meet the needs of its diverse employee and customer base.

vision for a more inclusive digital society through Smarter Technology for All
to create better experiences and opportunities for Lenovo’s employees, partners
and customers.
