What would you share about the career development at CDW?
Get to know as many people as possible across the entire organization. Chat with them about what their job is and how it relates to the overall business. I can’t tell you how many opportunities I have found out about through organic networking and having conversations with various coworkers.
Did you imagine you’d be in the role you are today?
I honestly had no idea where my career could take me at CDW. When I accepted the Account Manager position, I was very excited to learn more about CDW as a company and what other roles that could be a fit for me. I never really imagined all the possibilities they had. I started in Sales, moved to Coworker Service and then Integrated Technology Solutions and now a part of Product & Partner Management team. I've enjoyed my career journey so far!
