I am delighted to share that Arin Bhowmick has been elected as the Vice-Chair of the User Experience Technical Group (UXTG).
Last year, we merged the Computer Systems Technical Group and the Internet Technical Group to form UXTG, with the goal of building a stronger, unified community at the intersection of systems, design, and user experience. It has been an honor to serve as Chair through this transition, and I am glad to now hand it over to such capable hands.
Arin brings an extraordinary background to this role. As Chief Design Officer at SAP, he leads a global team of over 900 designers and shapes design strategy across the company's full portfolio. Previously, as CDO at IBM, he built and led a worldwide team of 700+ designers, earning more than 60 international design awards and recognition from Forrester and Harvard Business School. With 15+ design patents, numerous publications, and a vision that design is a force for change to elevate human experiences, Arin's leadership will no doubt strengthen and expand the impact of UXTG.
Please join me in congratulating Arin on this well-deserved recognition!
