Driving the Hybrid AI Roadmap
The formation of this new commercial arm comes at a pivotal time. As organizations across Asia Pacific seek to harness the power of artificial intelligence, Bhatia’s team will focus on delivering Lenovo’s full-stack AI portfolio. By integrating hardware, software, and services, the group aims to provide "Hybrid AI" solutions tailored to the specific digital maturity of markets ranging from Southeast Asia to Japan and Australia.
Leadership Transition and Future Growth
The move follows the upcoming retirement of Ivan Cheung, a respected leader who has spent years driving Lenovo's regional success. Stepping into the role of Vice President and General Manager of the PC and Smart Devices (PCSD) business is Benjamin Yeh, who joined the leadership team in March 2026. Yeh brings over 20 years of industry expertise to guide the PCSD segment through its next evolution.
With a consolidated commercial strategy and a leadership team deep in industry experience, Lenovo is positioning itself to capture the significant untapped potential within the Asia Pacific’s evolving tech landscape.
