“Eduardo is a proven leader who has driven significant growth in
our Mexico business for the past four years,” said Jeff Bawol,
president, Avnet Technology Solutions, Americas. “He has

excellence, employee development and accelerating success for our
partners and suppliers will be a valuable asset to the Latin

Prior to leading the Mexico team, Barron served as the IBM
solutions director for Avnet Technology Solutions in Mexico, where
