Welcome to The APAC Pulse Welcome to The APAC Pulse! In this final issue of 2022, get acquainted with our colleague Kenneth Hsu, Sales Director, Avnet Taiwan. The sales veteran combines work targets and running to strengthen the body and sales figures. (Your next New Year’s resolution, perhaps?) We’re also bringing you uplifting updates on our ESG activities in China, Hong Kong and Japan. It’s probably no coincidence that they all centre on the environment, which we appreciate more than ever, these post-pandemic days. In addition, we’re sharing a slew of recent awards, and a new Sales Enablement Site that should see even more business wins coming our way. Happy Holidays, and catch you in 2023!
