World Wide Technology

As we wrap up 2024, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude for our incredible team at World Wide Technology. This year has been a testament to our resilience, innovation, and commitment to excellence. During our Corporate Update, it was great to have our friend and partner Chuck Robbins CEO Cisco join us virtually for a fireside conversation on Cisco’s plans and vision and the future of WWT and Cisco partnership. Our collaboration with Cisco spans the globe…and continues to drive forward-thinking solutions and transformational outcomes for our customers.   We celebrated numerous milestones and achievements that highlight the strength of our people and our culture. WWT was recognized as a Great Place to Work in the US (13 years in a row!), India, UK, Singapore, and China, and certified across Mexico, Costa Rica, Brazil, The Netherlands, Hong Kong, and Australia, showcasing our global reach and exceptional culture. Our dedication to professional and personal development and giving back has been at the forefront, highlighted by the impactful work of our Employee Resource Groups and our leaders and members. Thank you Robert (Bob) Ferrell for your leadership and thank you to all of our employees for your contributions to WWT, our customers, and each other!   Our global supply chain operations teams have had a tremendous year, showcasing the outstanding performance and dedication of our teams supporting customers worldwide. Mike Taylor shared significant investments and milestone customer wins across digital, AI, cyber, cloud, and infrastructure, a testament to the power of WWT’s end-to-end IT solutions. Sara Goellner highlighted investments within our Advanced Technology Center, Cyber Range, and AI Proving Ground, enabling our customers with new insights, opportunities, and solutions. Sara also showcased best-in-class examples of employees leveraging WWT AI tools to enhance their daily activities and improve customer experiences, and unveiled the winners of our WWT Innovation Games, which empowers our employees to think differently while providing innovative solutions for our business.     Thank you Justin Reise VP facilities for your contributions to WWT and 28 years of service. Your dedication and hard work have been instrumental to our success. Thank you for being a source of fun and joy…along with being a great leader and role model for all of WWT.    As we look ahead, our investments in business, people, and culture, combined with our expanding technology partnerships, position us for continued growth and success. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to our employees, customers, and partners for their unwavering support and dedication. And just like Justin the Elf, let’s keep an eye out for opportunities to spread cheer, good will and innovation!   From myself and Dave and the entire leadership team at WWT, wishing everyone a safe and joyful holiday season. Let’s continue to make a new world happen, together! Happy Holidays!   -Jim
