Welcome to The APAC Pulse This issue of your newsletter contains some uplifting stories that aren’t about work – at least not the kind of work that’s outlined in our job descriptions. It’s about all the good work that is done by our colleagues outside of their official roles. Read up and learn about how the teams in Taiwan and China are helping revitalize rural economies, and how staff in Vietnam and Singapore have recently holidayed together, played together and grown stronger together. Congratulate Avnet Australia on its first foray into aerospace and defence events, and Avnet India on two prestigious wins. And meet one very inspiring lady, China’s Director of Field Application Management, Grace Ding. Happy reading!
