TD SYNNEX claimed the prestigious Gender Parity award at this year’s CRN Women and Diversity ceremony as the IT channel celebrated the tremendous value that female co-workers bring to our industry. In total, 12 women from TD SYNNEX were nominated for awards, with Deborah (Debs) Pilling being Highly Commended in the category for Marketing Employee of the Year.
► TD SYNNEX was shortlisted for five company awards
► 14 co-workers were in the running for individual recognition
Alison Nixon, director of the security business unit and co-chair of the TD SYNNEX Elevate business resource group, said: ‘It was an honour to win the Gender Parity award and special congratulations must go to Debs Pilling for her achievement. Every one of our nominated and short-listed co-workers deserves recognition and we congratulate them all. They can all be proud of their achievements and the great example they are setting for women in the channel.

‘The strong presence of TD SYNNEX in this year’s awards reflects the robust progress we have made on diversity, equity and inclusion. We are hopefully setting a good example, which others in the industry can follow. We’ll continue to encourage women within our organisation to aim high and follow their ambitions – and provide them with every opportunity to do that.’
