LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
CDW (NASDAQ: CDW), a leading provider
of technology solutions to business, government, education and
healthcare, today named two executives to new roles to further enable
strong, profitable growth on a global scale. Christine (Chris) A. Leahy
today assumes the newly created role of chief revenue officer (CRO) of
CDW, reporting to Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Thomas E.
Richards. Christina (Chris) M. Corley takes on an expanded role of
senior vice president, commercial and international markets, reporting
to Leahy.
As CRO, Leahy will have accountability for all customer-facing units of
the company, including its Corporate, Public, Small Business,
International and Strategic Solutions & Services organizations. She will
be responsible for ensuring continued strong revenue growth and that
CDW's go-to-market models remain highly relevant to its customers today
and well into the future. Leahy joined CDW in 2002 as the company's
first general counsel. Most recently, Leahy was senior vice president,
international and chief legal officer, where she led the development of
the company's international strategy including the acquisition of
Kelway, now CDW UK. Under her leadership, the company's international
operations are delivering consistently strong results. With this
transition, a search is underway for a new general counsel.
As senior vice president, commercial and international markets, Corley
will be responsible for building on the strong growth of the Corporate
team and further strengthening the connection between U.S. corporate
customers and the International team to ensure the company is continuing
to build and fully leverage its global capabilities, delivering a
consistent customer experience and driving profitable growth. Corley
joined CDW in 2011 as senior vice president, corporate sales and has led
significant growth in existing and new customers. J.D. Hupp in Canada
and Dan Laws in the United Kingdom will continue to lead their
respective businesses and report to Corley, in addition to her existing
direct reports.
"We've been on a strong path of growth over the past several years. As
we've grown, we've been very conscious about putting the systems,
structure and resources in place to ensure continued success on a
larger, global scale," Richards said. "We're now getting to the size and
scale as a business where I felt it was important to take the next step
in this evolution. I have tremendous confidence in both Chris Leahy and
Chris Corley to take on these broader roles and continue to help
successfully lead CDW into the future."
