• Identify and act on emerging market trends, customer needs, and portfolio opportunities, ensuring TD SYNNEX grows faster than the market across CISCO and Security while delivering against AFC targets.
• Drive adoption of critical platforms, digital programs, practices, and services, including PartnerFirst, that strengthen global capabilities and enable scalable execution across CISCO and Security.
