Mick Jones

A highly experienced and well respected global, end to end supply chain leader, Mick Jones has held a number of key executive roles in supply chain and logistics over the last 25 years, across multiple markets and in both shipper and 3-PL based organisations. Most recently – as VP Global Logistics and Supply Chain Strategy - Mick successfully led the supply chain element of the acquisition, merger and integration of the IBM X86 business into Lenovo, alongside the creation of the supply chain strategy for Lenovo, and the formation of an end to end 4PL logistics operation and an integrated logistics and manufacturing network for the business. Prior to that Mick spent 5 years leading the creation, development, and ultimately the operation of the then new $1Bn + Global Logistics organisation in Lenovo and managed the end to end Supply Chain within the EMEA region, employing 500 people across 30 sites across the world. The Lenovo Network manages movements from components inbound to manufacturing, through to reverse, returns and service parts networks – covering the movement of over 120M PC’s, Tablets, Phones and Options from 50 sources of supply to customers in over 190 countries. It has been one of the foundations for the successful growth of Lenovo over the last 5 years to its current number 1 position in PC Sales. With sound and wide ranging M&A and Turnaround experience, Mick thrives on ‘new challenges’, innovation and change and relishes the contest of creating something from new or fixing something from broken.
