In my role as Channel Marketing Manager for India i worked closely with Carinne Bird who was the Channel Marketing Director for the Growth Market Unit for IBM. Her knowledge of the overall brand and strong marketing expertise made her a true leader. With a clear perspective on the objectives to be met, she has a great ability to provide specific direction to drive the expected results. I had a lot to learn from her given her vast experience and her solid capability to find solutions in the toughest of situations.
