Carinne has been giving me functional directions for more than 2 years. During this time, I have learnt a lot from her on different aspects of the business. She is highly driven and energized and is an expert in "doing more with less". She brings focus, structure, creativity, thinking out of the box to any project she works on. She can work effectively with different teams and different business units across IBM - bringing everyone together around a key project or idea that is necessary for the success of the business. She has transformed channel marketing function across the GMU during the past few years and has solely sponsored a number of ground breaking initiatives in IBM. Carinne Bird also demonstrated great ability to develop skills and talents of people she is working with to a whole new level through coaching and practical experience sharing.less
