![TSP27 Session: Haben Girma & Paul Walsh on accessibility the Lenovo way]()
February 10, 2020
Today's is a great session by two experts from Lenovo; Paul Walsh and Haben Girma. I'm sure everyone who attended the session (or heard our earlier interview with them both) would agree that Haben is the real superstar here (sorry Paul). She is the first deafblind graduate of Harvard Law School, an advocate for people with disabilities and the first Lenovo Accessibility and Inclusion Advisor.
She travels the world teaching individuals and organisations how inclusion is an opportunity for innovation, which aligns perfectly with Lenovo’s vision of a world that delivers Smarter Technology for All and a digital future that is inclusive of everyone, everywhere.
Speakers
Paul Walsh, Chief Digital Officer, Lenovo
Haben Girma, Accessibility and Inclusion Advisor, Lenovo
