Yolanda Conyers Biography

Yolanda Lee Conyers serves as Lenovo's Vice President of Global HR Operations and Chief Diversity Officer. Lenovo is a leading manufacturer of personal computers worldwide and one of China's first international brands. She has excelled in this position by crossing barriers to establish a long-lasting business culture. She not only established the first diversity office ever for a Chinese-owned business, but she has also revolutionized Lenovo's daily human resources operations by ensuring data, systems, and procedures are consistent throughout the company's complicated global workforce of more than 60 countries. Yolanda, a 25-year veteran of the high-tech sector, developed "The Lenovo Way," a synthesis of the best elements of eastern and western business cultures, by utilizing diversity and culture as essential assets. With the help of this approach, Lenovo has expanded from a $3 billion China-based business to a $39 billion worldwide powerhouse, the leading manufacturer of personal computers, and a rising force in the market for smartphones, tablets, and other high-tech gadgets. The challenges of Lenovo's strategy to go global are discussed in her first book, "The Lenovo Way - Managing a Diverse Global Company for Optimal Performance," which also details how the company overcame them in 2005 when it acquired IBM's iconic ThinkPad product line and its personal computer division. Gina Ciao, senior vice president of human resources at Lenovo, co-wrote the book. Yolanda graduated from Lamar University with a bachelor's in computer science and from the Our Lady of the Lake Executive MBA Program with an MBA in international business. After completing the Advanced Human Resource Executive Training at the University of Michigan, she also earned her degree there in 2012.
