About Rich Hume

I’m Rich Hume, I\'ve recently retired in September 2024, however prior to that I was privileged to serve as TD SYNNEX Chief Executive Officer alongside our more than colleagues around the globe. TD SYNNEX plays a critical role in the technology business partner ecosystem during a time of unprecedented transformation, and we’re proud to help our channel partners deliver the products and solutions the world needs to connect, grow and advance. Prior to TD SYNNEX, I was with IBM for more than 30 years, most recently as General Manager and COO, Global Technology Services. During my IBM career, I served in a variety of capacities, including as General Manager, Europe, based in Madrid, as well as General Manager, Global Business Partners, among other roles. Throughout my career, I have been blessed to serve in a number of leadership positions, and through those experience, I’ve learned about the power of servant leadership. I believe that as leaders, we are most effective when we focus on serving the legitimate needs of those around us, and that is something that applies in the workplace as much as it does the community.I also believe in the power of giving back and am honored to serve on the board of directors for CEOs against Cancer, Florida Chapter, in addition to supporting causes like the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, the American Cancer Society and Feeding Tampa Bay.
