Driving Global Impact: Retired CIO; Board Member Pioneering Business Transformations, Digital Transformation, Cyber Security, and Next-Gen AI Innovations

I’m excited to announce my retirement after contributing IT leadership to Fortune corporations for over three decades alongside talented colleagues and teams. Most recently I served TD SYNNEX leading the IT organization through a merger that created a Fortune 65 organization. I’ve turned over the reins to Kristie Grinnell, a talented CIO. To all of my colleagues, I thank you for your support and friendship...it's been a great adventure thanks to you! My focus will now be on ‘FUN’ and Giving Back. I’ll be cooking for charitable causes and disaster relief, working on gardening projects, renovating homes in need of major updates, and re-learning golf so I can join Steve on the course anytime! My long-standing philanthropic support will continue with Mentors International and the Rhonda Walker Foundation. Both of these great organizations empower individuals and communities through mentorship, economic support, and youth development. I’ll continue to serve as a Corporate Board Director for Mastech Digital and other organizations, offering expertise to help drive growth and success by leveraging technology. As an exciting new chapter begins, I look forward to crossing paths with many of you! #RhondaWalkerFoundation #MentorsInternational #TDSYNNEX #MastechDigital #Retirement #GivingBack #CommunitySupport #Philanthropy #DisasterRelief #Mentorship #ITLeadership #Gardening #HomeRenovation #Golf #NewBeginnings #CorporateLeadership #TechnologyEnablement #Empowerment #kristiegrinnell
