Mukesh Kumar, chief services and solutions officer, will take on an expanded role, bringing CDW’s technology, services and solutions engine and our product and partner management organization together into one customer-focused team. These leadership transitions are designed to amplify CDW’s go-to-market strategy, enhancing operational agility, deepening customer and partner engagement, and driving long-term shareholder value.

Since joining CDW in 2020, Chawla’s leadership has accelerated the company’s digital transformation and future-forward strategy, driving significant progress in CDW’s digital journey, including the launch of Rubi, CDW’s digital platform and mobile app. “Sona’s impact on CDW has been significant, and we’re deeply grateful for her contributions,” said Christine A. Leahy, chair and chief executive officer, CDW. “Her ability to attract exceptional talent and foster a culture of curiosity and collaboration has helped position CDW for continued success.”
