Mr. Yang joined Lenovo in 1989, after graduating with a Master's degree from the Institute of Computer Science at the University of Science and Technology of China.

His dedication and insight into market trends led him to the position of president and chief executive officer in 2001. Under Mr. Yang's leadership, Lenovo has been China's best-selling PC brand since 1997. Mr. Yang is also a member of the National Youth Committee, Director of China's Entrepreneur Association, and Professor at the University of Science and Technology of China.

Located in Hall 3 of the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) exhibition halls, the Lenovo stand will provide first-hand demonstrations on the patented and award-winning ThinkVantage technologies in wireless, security, data protection and PC management that are available in nearly all ThinkPad notebooks and ThinkCentre desktops. The Hard Disk Active Protection System technology, for example, is a solution that dramatically reduces hard drive failures by avoiding full-induced system damage.
