Yan Zhuo

IBM i Product Management Leader

IBM

I have been with IBM for over twenty years, starting out as tech sales and consultant, then product management. Acting as a technical product manager, I worked with a development team, and together we delivered a next-gen requirements management product that was used by NASA for its mission to Mars. I launched the first multi-tenant SaaS with an on-prem delivery before IBM has the hybrid cloud infrastructure. And the multi-tenant SaaS product won the first subscription deal for IBM Cloud. Recently I have delivered business partner activation kits for watsonx.ai, watsonx.data and watsonx.governance. watsonx is IBM's generative AI platform.
