FREMONT, Calif., & CLEARWATER, Fla. – March 19, 2024 – In honor of his retirement from the Board of Directors, TD SYNNEX(NYSE: SNX) celebrates the remarkable legacy of Matthew Miau, a visionary leader in the IT industry whose impact extends far beyond the boardroom.
As the Board’s longest-tenured director with service spanning three decades, Miau’s tenure began when he was named Chair of the SYNNEX Corporation Board in 1992. He served as Chair until 2008 followed by Chair Emeritus and Director, and under his guidance, the company underwent transformative growth, evolving into a global technology powerhouse.
