Prior to Lenovo, Pinckney held a number of roles at Microsoft over a period of nine years.  His last position was as vice president of Worldwide Field Sales, Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) division, where he led a sales and business development team responsible for software sales with local OEM partners around the world.
