Lenovo has announced the appointment of Victoria Mahan as General Manager for New Zealand.

Victoria Mahan will be based in Auckland and report to Matt Codrington, Vice President and Regional General Manager for the Greater Asia Pacific Region. She succeeds Libby MacGregor, who has taken on a global position as Director of Enablement with Lenovo's WW team based in the United Kingdom.

Victoria brings over two decades of experience within New Zealand's IT industry, having worked in leading roles at organisations such as HP and Spark.

Victoria is committed to using technology to empower people and organisations and is focused on building high-performing teams while nurturing a workplace culture that highlights well-being and inclusivity. Her interests extend beyond her professional life, as she is the Chair of the Westlake Girls High School Board and a Trustee for the Sir John Kirwan Foundation.

"I am thrilled to join Lenovo and contribute to the growth of an organisation that is a global leader in driving technological innovation and development," said Victoria Mahan. "Lenovo's robust portfolio of cutting-edge services and solutions, combined with its strong presence in the New Zealand market, provides an incredible opportunity to collaborate with an impressive network of partners and customers to deliver meaningful outcomes."

She added, "I am equally inspired by Lenovo's commitment to fostering a people-first culture with principles that resonate deeply with my approach to leadership. Together, we will build on Lenovo's success, empowering people and organisations, and making a positive impact across the region."

Matt Codrington, commenting on the new appointment, stated, "We are excited to welcome Victoria to the team. With an outstanding career and proven track record of driving impactful results, we are confident that she will play a key role in elevating our operations in New Zealand. I look forward to seeing the valuable contributions her leadership will bring, and the continued success she will drive for our partners and customers," he said.

He extended his gratitude to the outgoing General Manager, saying, "At the same time, my sincere thanks to Libby for her significant contributions to the New Zealand business over the last 5 years, and wishing her every success in her new global role with Lenovo, based out of our UK."

Reflecting on the broader aspirations of the company, Matt Codrington added, "Lenovo is deeply committed to enabling business success across New Zealand, with our local leadership playing a central role in that commitment. This appointment underscores our dedication to strengthening our presence and delivering exceptional support to our customers and partners as we continue to drive innovation in the region."
