About Patrick Zammit
Patrick Zammit became CEO of TD SYNNEX in September 2024, having previously served as COO for most of that year and before that held responsibility for the European and APJ regions. In a December 2024 video message to the company's Japan Inspire event, Zammit said that during a visit to Japan he met with co-workers and partners to understand the market and how to create value. He stated that innovation and collaboration are core elements of the business philosophy there, and that he believes culture and people are key differentiators in the industry. Zammit described Japan as a critical market for TD SYNNEX and said the company is committed to driving value, fueling growth, and simplifying the complexities of technological change for its partners.
According to a September 2024 CRN report, Zammit's appointment followed a planned succession from former CEO Rich Hume, who retired. The report noted that Zammit, a longtime TD SYNNEX employee in Europe, was expected to bring a fresh perspective to the company but that no wholesale changes were anticipated for the channel. The report also stated that distributors like TD SYNNEX have evolved into high-tech businesses focused on financing, training, and deploying new technologies for partners.

I am Patrick Zammit, CEO of TD SYNNEX. I have had the privilege of leading our organization since September after serving as COO for most of 2024. Prior to that, I had responsibility for European and APJ regions. In that capacity, I had the opportunity to visit Japan, meet with our esteemed co-workers and key partners, and understand better the dynamics of the market and how we can create value for you. During the visit, it became clear that innovation and collaboration are core elements of your business philosophy. This approach aligns with my belief that culture and people are the key differentiators in our industry and that relationships are the key to our collective success. That is why this year's theme of 'Co-Create the Future Together' resonates so strongly. Thank you for joining us. We all know that the IT landscape is moving at a rapid pace as we work to adapt to new innovations, new technology, and new ways to consume technology. At TD SYNNEX, we are committed to drive value, fuel growth, and accelerate the adoption of these innovations. We are committed to helping simplify the complexities that come with these transformative changes, supporting our partners across the full portfolio of technology offerings. We are all in for the success of our partners. This agenda for Inspire is purpose-fit against these goals, and I thank Jip Kisan and the entire Japanese team for putting together such a robust and informative session. Make no mistake about it, Japan is a critical market for us, and I look forward to hearing the outcomes of your time at Inspire. Together, we can achieve great things. Arigato.
