At the beginning of this year, a set of data attracted attention: 6.4% of listed companies in China are CEOs (CEOs), which is higher than the average of 5.2% in developed countries. Obviously, in Chinese companies, women are increasingly unneglectable forces, and they are constantly performing legends in the Chinese business field!
01
Representative of the Chinese technology industry "her power" and the wonderful legend of the ballet princess
Some time ago, Forbes China released the "2022 China Outstanding Business Women's List". Compared with last year, there are more than 30 new faces on this year's list, and the three major fields of medicine, technology and retail account for half of them.
Among them, the performance of technology companies is particularly worthy of attention. In recent years, many well-known female executives have emerged in the domestic technology fields such as IT Internet. Lenovo ISG China Chief Marketing Officer Sheng Beiti is a particularly prominent representative.
Like many successful female executives, Sheng Beiti has a wonderful resume in the workplace, such as Microsoft Asia Pacific R&D Group strategic partner business manager, Cisco Cisco Greater China Marketing Director, Siap (SAP) Greater China Vice President of Corporate Communications and Director of the President's Office... and now Lenovo ISG China Chief Marketing Officer.
At the same time, she has a different experience from many senior female executives. She has crossed the field of technology from the field of art. She was the chief of the Canadian National Ballet and a well-known dancer in the field of international ballet . Today, she is a female senior executive with decisive and outstanding ability in the field of science and technology in China, and such a big leap is rare in the industry.
Moreover, in the past three years of Lenovo, Sheng Beiti has performed very well. She led the team to enhance and strengthen Lenovo ISG China's professional brand image in the B2B field, expanded its connection with industry CXO customers, and actively promoted the company's implementation of corporate social responsibility. Recently, Lenovo ISG China also won the "2022 CIO Trusted Brand" award award awarded by the China Enterprise Digital Transformation Alliance.
From a ballet princess to a tech strong woman, Sheng Beiti has drawn a different and wonderful curve in the workplace.
02
Powerful learning and adaptability in the changing era
Today is a changeable era. The major changes that have only happened in more than ten years or decades in the past will happen once in a few years. Especially for technology companies, it is a pace of rapid iteration. Therefore, for people in the workplace, the biggest test is how to deal with changes. Strong learning and adaptability are crucial to success.
, a very difficult challenge, is precisely Director Sheng Beidi's strength. She crossed the ballet to the IT industry, entered the technology field from the art field, and was in the complex B2B technology field. Sheng Beiti not only successfully achieved transformation, but also achieved excellent results in Microsoft , Cisco, SAP, and Lenovo, which is a full reflection of her strong learning and adaptability.
In this regard, Sheng Beiti said that we are in an era of transformation, striving to find a certain self in uncertainty, and actively embrace the changes of the times with firm beliefs and down-to-earth actions. As women, we should firmly believe in our own value and ability, seize every opportunity, use the light of inspiration to light up our dreams, and be brave enough to open up the "her road" to the future.
Of course, behind all this, it is also inseparable from her long-term diligence and pursuit of precision. In the business field, just like her in the field of ballet, it is a reflection of the 10,000-hour law. As Sheng Beiti said, like ballet, you can understand your own strengths and shortcomings, coupled with ten years of concentration and excellence, and endurance in pain, so that you can finally complete a leap on the stage and bloom gracefully.

The wonderful era of "her power" in China
In March this year, the "2022 Business Women Survey Report" was released. The research report showed that more than 70% of companies are currently striving to create a more inclusive environment. The proportion of female executives continues to rise, and more important positions are held. Moreover, the proportion of Chinese female executives is already the same as the world level.In the future, as companies' attention to diversity and inclusion continues to increase, the proportion of female executives will continue to rise.
There is no doubt that today belongs to a wonderful era of "her power"!
As a benchmark for globalization, Lenovo has always been committed to promoting and developing an inclusive culture with diversity as the focus, and continues to carry out a series of activities with the theme of "Promoting female talent cultivation, leadership improvement and economic empowerment, and fully supporting women's comprehensive growth." In 2020, Lenovo ISG China launched the ShePower project with the theme of "She Era, New Power", aiming to focus on women's growth and improvement, continue to empower their work leadership, and unleash the influence of women as role models. This also provides greater development space for outstanding professional women like Sheng Beidi and opens up a dazzling "her path".
At present, the proportion of female executives in listed companies in my country continues to grow. Her strength brings vigorous development vitality to Chinese listed companies. In the future, there will definitely be more outstanding working women like Sheng Beidi, and will bloom wonderfully in China's business field!
