Lenovo appoints UK & Ireland GM

ProVu appoints Joe Walberg as sales manager

Lenovo has appointed Andy Rhodes as the new general manager for the UK and Ireland region. Andy joins Lenovo from HP, where he held several senior leadership roles, including division president & general manager of HP’s Video Conferencing & Accessories Division, as well as global leadership of the HP Commercial PC business. Previously, Andy spent more than a decade at Dell in a range of executive positions across its data centre, workstation and Industrial IoT businesses. “I’m genuinely excited to be joining Lenovo at a time of such rapid growth and opportunity, particularly as hybrid AI reshapes our industry and how we serve customers,” said Andy. Andy replaces Adrian Criddle who, after two years leading the UK&I organisation through a period of significant transformation and progress, will be transitioning out of the general manager role to pursue new opportunities. Adrian will remain with the organisation for an interim period and work closely with Lenovo leadership to onboard Andy into his new role. Matt Dobrodziej, Lenovo SVP & Europe President, commented: “I’m excited to welcome Andy to Lenovo. He’s a highly experienced technology industry leader and a great fit for our UK & Ireland business.” n
