Lenovo has promoted Kumar Mitra to managing director for Australia and New Zealand of its Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG) business, effective immediately, assuming the role from John McCloskey.
The appointment sees Mitra take on an expanded role as managing director for both Central Asia Pacific (CAP) and ANZ. This move is in line with Lenovo’s efforts to double down on the infrastructure solutions business in both markets.
Mitra will drive the business growth strategy for both regions, with a strong focus on delivering on Lenovo’s vision, ‘Smarter Technology For All’.
Mitra brings 30 years of experience in technology optimisation and sales to Lenovo, half of which was spent building high performance computing teams. Prior to joining Lenovo in 2021, he was a director for OEM sales, Asia Pacific at Nutanix.
Lenovo president of ISG for Asia Pacific, Sumir Bhatia said, “With Kumar at the helm for ANZ, I am certain that we will continue to drive intelligent digital transformation for our customers and partners. We thank John for establishing a strong growth foundation during his time at Lenovo, and I look forward to seeing Kumar work with our ANZ ISG leadership team to build upon our ongoing successes in the region.”
Commenting on his new appointment, Mitra said, “I am honoured to be expanding my role to ANZ and CAP for Lenovo ISG. This is an exciting time where we’re focused on driving a new era of IT – bringing AI to the data and providing smarter infrastructure solutions. This is so our customers and partners fulfil their potential through technology, and benefit from greater efficiency and reliability. I am excited to have the opportunity to lead our teams in both CAP and ANZ on this journey.”
