In his new role, Hill will be responsible for all aspects of Lenovo’s New Zealand business and sales strategy, driving business growth, and strengthening all of its New Zealand offerings. This move echoes Lenovo’s increased focus and investment in New Zealand and its channel partners there following the Lenovo Live events held in Wellington and Auckland in April.

Mike will be instrumental in leading a dedicated approach in New Zealand that will include further allocation of marketing, supply chain and technical support resources to our partners there” said Matt Codrington, Managing Director of Lenovo, ANZ.
Hill brings over 25 years of ICT experience to the role, with proven success in building, establishing and growing businesses accountable for driving sales and market share growth. Most recently Hill was at Fujitsu New Zealand, where he was Sales Manager for the Platforms business.
Prior to this, Hill was Country Manager for Dell New Zealand where he was responsible for building and executing the country strategy, resourcing, governance, and business growth.
