From 2014 to 2017, Dr. Xu held several leadership roles, including serving as CTO, with BMC Software, Inc. (BMC), a global leader in information technology service management. Before joining BMC, Dr. Xu held senior management positions at several other organizations, including LiveRamp Holdings, Inc.

She started her management career at IBM in 1996, where she developed the IBM Content Management Suite and DB2.
