CDW Corporation (Nasdaq: CDW), a leading multi-brand provider of information technology solutions to business, government, education and healthcare customers in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada, today announced that Sona Chawla, chief growth and innovation officer, will retire from CDW at the end of 2025.
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.”
As part of this transition, CDW will integrate its growth and innovation function largely with the services and solutions function, led by Mukesh Kumar, to deliver a more connected and differentiated customer and partner experience. Since joining CDW earlier this year, Kumar has accelerated CDW’s AI offerings and internal capabilities, while crystallizing CDW’s long-term advisory and platform roadmap. “Mukesh has quickly leveraged his experience developing and scaling technology-based services and solutions at CDW, and there is a significant opportunity to turbocharge engagement with our customers using technology,” said Leahy.
“It has been an incredible privilege to be part of CDW’s journey over the past several years,” said Sona Chawla. “I’m deeply proud of what we’ve accomplished together – from our digital transformation to pioneering innovation in our customer engagement. CDW’s commitment to its purpose and its people is truly special, and I look forward to watching the company continue to thrive in the future.”
