UK&I Country General Manager at Lenovo Infrastructure Solutions Group

A man that needs no introduction! Lenovo Accelerate '24 was unforgettable, especially meeting the legendary Michael Owen. We discussed his time at the mighty potters . He's a lovely bloke. And that's not all. Natasha Kaplinsky OBE, our host, kicked off the afternoon's proceedings, setting the tone for a night filled with insightful presentations. Adrian Criddle, our (not so) newly appointed VP and GM of Lenovo UKI, shared inspiring thoughts on the future trajectory of Lenovo’s innovations. Per Overgaard, EMEA Infrastructure Solutions Group CTO, walked us through the technical capabilities behind our latest products. Kurt Stevenson from Microsoft spoke about the seamless integration of our technologies, while Tom Butler from Lenovo discussed our comprehensive commercial portfolio. Dr Zoë Webster, an independent AI advisor, provided a compelling overview of AI trends and her experiences as the former Director of AI at BT through a brilliant interactive game of Who Want's to be an AI Millionaire. We had the privilege of hosting hands-on product demos and AI solutions, allowing our guests to experience firsthand the transformative potential of our technology. The event was capped off with a thrilling Euros football screening hosted by Michael Owen. It was the perfect setting to relax and engage in some friendly banter, reminding us that enjoying a shared passion can be just as important. For CEOs and Managing Directors, the message was clear: embracing innovation is crucial for staying competitive. Witnessing technology in action, is the best way to preview its full potential!

Some people, like red wine, improve with age. Michael Owen is looking pretty good too! 😁

Was a great event Ian - thank you to Lenovo for the opportunity to host Intel at Accelerate 2024.... As for Owen... as a United supporter he is of course a legend... but for the goal against Argentina.. he's a god! (not a patch on your status though of course Mr Jeffs!)
