As Miau retires from the TD SYNNEX board, company leaders share comments on Miau's indelible impact on the business and IT industry

In honor of his retirement from the Board of Directors, TD SYNNEX (NYSE:SNX) celebrates the remarkable legacy of Matthew Miau, a visionary leader in the IT industry whose impact extends far beyond the boardroom.

As the Board's longest-tenured director with service spanning three decades, Miau's tenure began when he was named Chair of the SYNNEX Corporation Board in 1992. He served as Chair until 2008 followed by Chair Emeritus and Director, and under his guidance, the company underwent transformative growth, evolving into a global technology powerhouse. Highlights from his time with the company include investing in the business and supporting its subsequent initial public offering, conducting numerous strategic acquisitions, spinning off Concentrix Corporation, and completing SYNNEX's merger with Tech Data to form the leading global IT solutions aggregator, TD SYNNEX.

Miau's career highlights include a multitude of impactful business ventures, earning him the nickname of "Mr. Joint Venture" in the Taiwan market. He also serves as Chair of the Chinese National Federation of Industries (CNFI), an industrial association representing the majority of manufacturing businesses in Taiwan.

As he prepares to retire from the Board, company leaders reflect on his extraordinary contributions to TD SYNNEX and the broader technology business partners ecosystem.
