WORK HISTORY
Portfolio Strategy and Corporate Development, Cognitive Solutions @IBM
I have two roles: Provide market analysis to guide product investment and, when needed, contribute to the business case of a corporate development activity such as an acquisition, IP deal or divestiture. Both roles involve working with the business segment to flesh out their portfolio strategy to prioritize options (build, partner, acquire) from a business and technology point-of-view while working with a financial analyst in parallel to develop a financial model. This work requires a strong breadth of how products and services are developed and brought to market in addition to understanding market dynamics and control points to identify risks and mitigation strategies.

ABOUT TINA GROVES
CAREER GOAL To create high value and innovative products that accelerate decision making through analytics and visualizations. CAREER HIGHLIGHTS Tina derives market insights from her broad product management experience, from managing the customer relationships of a mature product to the dynamic experience of new product introduction. Her passion shows most when exploring how to exploit innovative technologies. She\'s demonstrated skill leading envisioning investigations, developing business cases, identifying high value use cases and go-to-market approaches. She introduced 2 highly-visible components to the Cognos portfolio and was the product management lead for a release which generated $500+ million USD over its life. She was a popular speaker and an often called-upon evangelist for briefings with industry analysts and customers. In July 2013, she was rated as one of top 200 Twitter influencers by Onalytica for big data, out of 125k accounts. Tina\'s last full-time role was providing strategic market insights to the executives of the Media and Weather segment of IBM and identifying leads for the business development team, including acquisitions and partnerships. At this time, Tina is enjoying time with friends and family, catching up on time missed due to the pandemic lock downs. Ideally, she will apply her strategic savvy again in the future. UNIQUE QUALITIES A self-starter by nature, Tina is consistently identified as a star for her energy and “can do” attitude. But, it’s her ability to match technology opportunity with business need and her ability to synthesize and simplify complex information that sets her apart. This ability is supported by her achievements: two patents, numerous special contribution awards and the inclusion of a gold medal application, to which she was a key contributor, in a Smithsonian Institute time capsule.
