John Paget joined SYNNEX in 2004 as President of North America and Chief Operating Officer. Subsequent to joining SYNNEX, Mr. Paget led the effort to create a solutions-based distribution model within SYNNEX, which was recently branded as the Technology Solutions Division (TSD). Due to the initial success of TSD and its importance to SYNNEX, Mr. Paget will focus his efforts on this initiative. Robert Huang, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “John has demonstrated great vision and leadership in forming and growing TSD within SYNNEX. For this business to be successful and beneficial not only to SYNNEX but to our investors and external constituents over the long-term, it will require the majority of John’s time and attention. I appreciate his focus and dedication to the growth of this business.” In addition to leading TSD, Mr. Paget will continue his corporate function responsibilities.
Peter Larocque joined SYNNEX in 1983 as a sales representative and rapidly transitioned to positions with greater responsibility throughout his career. Mr. Larocque’s leadership skills and accomplishments have been highlighted in his current role as Executive Vice President of Distribution, where he has led his team to industry leading sales growth, including more than doubling sales over the past five years. Mr. Huang commented, “Peter has been an invaluable leader and manager during the more then twenty years he has been with SYNNEX. His dedication and industry knowledge are a major part of why SYNNEX has enjoyed the success we have had to date.” In his new position, Mr. Larocque will continue to lead the US sales, marketing and product management organizations of SYNNEX.
Dennis Polk joined SYNNEX in 2002 as Senior Vice President of Corporate Finance and shortly thereafter was named Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Huang commented, “As CFO of the company over the past four years, Dennis has made many significant contributions to SYNNEX, including our initial public offering in 2003, our profitability and capital formation, acquisitions and regulatory compliance, and financial reporting. His experience in computer distribution and success at SYNNEX make him a natural fit for this position.” Mr. Polk will retain his role as CFO until a successor is determined.
Mr. Huang concluded, “The SYNNEX Board of Directors and I congratulate John, Peter and Dennis on their success with SYNNEX and their new positions.”
