Client Technical Specialist
My name is Zu, joined IBM in Jan 2020 as a Sales Graduate in Z, after moving from PwC. Wasn’t initially looking at a career in IT and when I joined didn’t know what a mainframe was. 3 years on, having worked in both a sales and technical capacity, I grew to understand the importance and significance of what the mainframe does for us on not only a day-to-day basis but the wider economy as a whole.
