ABOUT SIMON W.

I am part of the Integrated Account team at IBM working as a Global Client Executive with HSBC. Previously I was IBM’s Digital Trust Sales Lead, which sat within the IBM Security business, for the Finance and Insurance sector. I have also worked as a Software Client Lead for IBM covering a selection of UK Retail clients. Prior to joining IBM, I worked as a Client Director at Portal, one of IBM\'s Premier software partners. Here I managed the complete business relationship between Portal and it customers, covering software services and support. Before joining Portal, I worked for Microsoft as a Business Productivity Specialist covering Financial Services in the UK. I also spent 13 years with IBM UK\'s PC Business and 2 years with Lenovo Technology UK Ltd. During these 32 plus years in the IT industry, I have held various sales roles within the software, hardware and business partner divisions at IBM and Lenovo. I started at IBM as a sales support account manager and then moved on to be a business partner manager, corporate account manager, new business sales manager, global account manager and finally an account director managing IBM’s relationship with its biggest partner. When IBM sold its PC division to Lenovo Technology, I transferred across to become a new business seller working with some of Lenovo’s largest clients. After two years I transferred back to IBM and took up a specialist sales role within the software business covering local and central government.
