Lenovo has appointed Marc Godin as vice president and GM MEA to lead the company’s business in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region, effective immediately.

Godin succeeds Oliver Ebel who has moved to head up Lenovo’s smartphone business across EMEA including both Motorola and Lenovo smartphones and wearable technology.

Prior to this role Godin was VP of the UK & Ireland region where he took the PC business from 11.9% two years ago to today’s 18.2% and a clear number 2 position.

Most notably Godin presided over a growth trajectory from number 5 in consumer PCs two years ago to a number 2 position of 19.4%.

Before his UK & Ireland role, Godin led the Enterprise and Public Sector business at Western European level.

Godin’s 28 year career includes sales, marketing and supply chain leadership roles in both Lenovo and IBM across PCs, enterprise and public sector.
