Lenovo creates new post for Lanci

LENOVO Group Ltd has appointed Gianfranco Lanci as its corporate president, a newly created position, as part of the company’s organizational structure change for global market and business growth, the world’s No. 1 personal computer maker said yesterday.

Lanci, a 30-year veteran of PC industry, will take up the new position from April 1. The new post is seen as the No. 2 executive behind Lenovo’s Chairman and Chief Executive Yang Yuanqing.

Lanci, who will retain his current position as chief operating officer and head of the PC business, will head Lenovo’s PC sales and marketing efforts worldwide.

He will also be in charge of key functions, such as product development, supply chain and manufacturing, for the enterprise business group.

Gerry Smith has been appointed as Lenovo’s executive vice president and COO of PC group and enterprise business group, and will report to Lanci.

Lenovo’s management shuffle comes after the US$2.91 billion purchase of Motorola Mobility from Google and the US$2.1 billion purchase of a line of servers from IBM.

“With the successful integration of our recent acquisitions, we have three major growth engines — PC, enterprise and mobile,” said Chairman Yang. “So, we must have the right structure and focus on outstanding execution in every market and with every customer.”
