Perhaps not many of you know that Ashton Kutcher has way more experience in the tech world than just portraying Steve Jobs in the Apple biopic. Kutcher is cofounder of A-Grade Investments, which has invested in and worked with Airbnb, Fab, Foursquare, Spotify, Path and Uber.
Now he has taken on the title of product engineer to Lenovo‘s new tablet. According to a statement from the technology company, the 35-year-old will work with the world’s largest PC vendor “to develop and market the Yoga line of tablets by providing input and decision-making into design, specifications, software and usage scenarios.”
“This partnership with Lenovo brings together my love of technology and design that makes your life better,” Kutcher said. “I can’t wait to dig in and help Lenovo develop future mobile computing products, starting with the Yoga Tablet. Lenovo is all about innovation and strong leadership. Entrepreneurship is part of their DNA, and I couldn’t ask for a better fit.”
Chief marketing officer at Lenovo, David Roman, added that “[Ashton Kutcher’s] authentic, creative appetite for technology and keen consumer insight combined with our innovation engine make this a very natural and powerful partnership. This partnership goes beyond traditional bounds by deeply integrating him into our organization as a product engineer as we look at developing the next wave of products.”
