Background:

Fran O'Sullivan is the Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Lenovo International, responsible for Lenovo's global operations. She was General Manager of IBM's Personal Computing Division (PCD) from January, 2003, until the formation of the new Lenovo. She devoted the last 21 of her 24 years with IBM to the personal computer business. As PCD's General Manager, she was responsible for IBM's client business, including the ThinkPad line of notebooks, ThinkCentre desktops, ThinkVision monitors, and accessories and services, all sold under the Think strategy.



Ms. O'Sullivan began her career with IBM with an assignment to NASA's Space Shuttle Program at Cape Kennedy, Florida. She then transferred to IBM's PC Division and gained engineering and management expertise in development, manufacturing, procurement, and technical and business operations. Her long association with PCD includes general management of ThinkPad worldwide operations, leading ThinkPad worldwide development, consumer desktop development, and, most recently, developing and executing the turn-around Think strategy.



She graduated from the University of Virginia with a B.S. in electrical engineering in 1980, and serves on the University of Virginia Engineering Industry Advisory Board.
