Hello, Team!
A lot of what we do in business, as in life, does not yield immediate returns. But with persistence and patience, hard work pays off. It’s a bit like planting a tree, which is exactly what our colleagues in Shanghai have been doing.
The tremendous effort invested in organizing and sponsoring events like MakeNTU, Taiwan’s national maker and hacker contest, will no doubt pay off in the future when Avnet recruits the brightest young graduates to expand our already formidable talent pool. Hard work also pays off when recognition comes in the form of industry awards. Join me in congratulating the South Asian team that was recently recognized by Microchip for its innovative onboard EV charger.
This issue of APAC Pulse is filled with these and many more inspiring stories. Let’s look back with pride on our achievements, and look forward with excitement to what lies ahead as we embark on a new financial year.
Till next issue,
