CDW Corporation (Nasdaq: CDW), a leading multi-brand technology
solutions provider to business, government, education and

become non-executive chairman of the board, effective January 1,
2020. He will succeed Thomas E. Richards, executive chairman, who
will retire from the board as of December 31, 2019. This chairman
succession is the culmination of a leadership transition that began
several years ago.
“David has been a valued board member for the past six years,
and our entire board is pleased that he has accepted this
additional leadership role and special responsibility to contribute
to and serve CDW in this capacity,” said Christine A. Leahy, chief
executive officer, CDW. “I look forward to working with David and
our full board as CDW continues to execute our growth
strategy.”
Leahy also recognized the special role that Tom Richards has had
in CDW’s success: “I am proud and privileged, on behalf of our
Board of Directors and more than 9,800 coworkers and all CDW
stakeholders, to thank Tom for his decade of exceptional
contribution and service. Tom reminded us daily of our opportunity
and responsibility to ‘make a difference,’ and Tom most surely did
so. His exceptional legacy will carry on in countless ways.”
“I am honored to serve as the next chairman for a company with
such a rich history and bright future,” Nelms said. “I want to
personally thank Tom for the excellent stewardship he has provided
as chairman and for his outstanding leadership over a decade of
service to CDW.”
