Right out of school, Mr. Cerutti got his start with Bouygues Construction as a civil engineer and site manager. He soon moved on to IBM, serving in the sales engineering and sales management departments before attaining his first senior management position as the Director of the Personal Systems Group in 1996.

After working directly with IBM CEO and Chairman Lou Gerstner in New York, Mr. Cerutti moved up to Vice President of Operations for EMEA in the Personal Systems Group in 2000. There he managed $5.2 billion in revenue and helped define and drive a hybrid distribution strategy in the region.

Mr. Cerutti continued to climb his way up the corporate ladder at IBM, serving as the General Manager of the firm’s Global Services unit, first for Western Europe and then for the entire Europe, Middle East and Africa region.

In 2005, Mr. Cerutti took over as General Manager for all of IBM’s EMEA operations and helped lead a transformation of the company’s sales and distribution model in the area. He pioneered a new shared services model and developed innovative management practices that were later adopted across the company. Mr. Cerutti led the break-up of the EMEA unit and subsequently took charge of the new IBM Southwest Europe.
