GTDC Appoints Synnex Corporation President and CEO Kevin Murai as
Vice Chairman
ST. PETERSBURG, FL--(Marketwired - Feb 18, 2014) - The Global
Technology Distribution Council (GTDC) today announced the
appointment of Kevin Murai, president and CEO of SYNNEX Corporation
(NYSE: SNX), a leading distributor of IT products and services, as
the organization's vice chairman.
In this additional role, Murai helps drive the strategic
direction and initiatives of the GTDC, an industry association for
the world's leading technology distributors that annually generates
more than $130 billion in global product and services revenue. GTDC
members distribute to 187 countries today -- 95% of the world.
Murai brings more than 25 years in technology distribution
experience to the GTDC executive committee, including an extensive
background in global management, operations and customer
relationships. He joined SYNNEX in March 2008 as president and CEO
and previously served as president and COO of Ingram Micro, where
he held numerous senior management positions over a span of nearly
20 years with the company.
Throughout his career, Murai has received numerous awards and
recognition for his channel leadership and vision. A leading IT
channel trade publication, CRN, named him to its "Top 25
Disruptors" list in 2013, the fifth consecutive year CRN
has featured Murai as a top industry executive. He has led SYNNEX
to unprecedented success -- including continuing a record streak of
106 consecutive profitable quarters -- while spearheading new
business development programs in emerging markets ranging from
mobility to cloud.
"Kevin's comprehensive knowledge and experience in the
technology distribution industry will be of tremendous value to the
GTDC and its members," commented Tim Curran, the GTDC's CEO. "He's
long been an advocate for the channel, highly regarded by the
vendor community as well as solution providers and peers across the
world. He joins our leadership team at an ideal time as
distributors continue to build on their momentum and services
expertise at the center of today's global IT supply chain."
"I'm honored to serve as vice chairman of the GTDC," Murai said.
"The role of technology distributors is evolving and diversifying
faster than ever―connecting and serving all points in the channel
in ways that are remarkably dynamic and instrumental to overall
industry success. I'm excited to contribute to the GTDC's growth
and expanding influence as we continue to innovate and strengthen
partnerships worldwide."
