About Susan Chalenski Shumway

I am a product manager that focuses on environmental sustainability for the IBM zSystems and IBM LinuxONE enterprise servers. I work to understand the markets and challenges that businesses face when trying to win in an environment with ever-increasing ESG regulations and requirements. I work to identify and drive improvements into the product designs that will best help those businesses meet their sustainability goals. I thrive in dynamic and collaborative environments and never turn down a challenge. I’m an innovator, a problem solver, and a leader.In my previous role at IBM, I was a communications professional with experience in technical writing, editing, and user interface design. I harnessed my exceptional written communication skills and engineering background to turn complex input into clear content that was tailored for the intended audience. I excelled at recognizing the appropriate vehicles for information while maintaining content and project efficiency.
