Sawatzky also spent 22 years at IBM, where he held a number of client service leadership roles. In his role as Vice President of SaaS and Client Success for IBM's Cognitive Solutions he led a global team of 2,000 employees to elevate client experiences and drive value through software services, product support, and cloud implementation. During his time at IBM, he helped strengthen client satisfaction and bottom line expansion resulting in double digit NPS improvement and 15 points of margin expansion respectively. He transformed IBM's SaaS business and has been an effective driver of the advancement of client success at IBM and the greater software industry.
