At SYNNEX, we’re inspired by all the hard work and careful planning our partners bring to the table, and we strive to always exceed the goals you have for a distributor. While some of us were thinking about what inspires us, we decided it would be fun and enlightning to ask some of the vendors in the Solutions Pavilion what inspires them.
“What inspires me is working around really smart people, and being inspired by them. … And the personal need to be the best at what I do.” — Brian Ferguson, Product Marketing Manager, Digium
“What inspires me is coming into the beautiful town of Greenville, and being introduced to all these new resellers that I’ve never met before, and inspiring them to use Solarflare cards in their server installations.” — Tim Dales, Director of Channels, Solarflare Communications
“What inspires me is a lot of the work we’re doing with our partners and the end users that are driving advancements in some of the markets that are really making people’s lives better: the medical industry; as well as a lot of research in the scientific community in advancing drug research as well as curing diseases. Those are the types of things that really inspire me to focus on my job and accomplishing our goals.” — Vince Alvarado, Director of N.A. Distribution Channel, NVIDIA
“I’m inspired by all the cutting-edge technology in all the different various vertical markets that are being covered here today at the show.” — David Michielli, Director of Sales and Marketing, TG3 Electronics
“The thing that inspires me to get up and do this every day is knowing that I can help a reseller be more profitable, so they can reinvest in their business, maybe invest in their community, invest in their employees — that makes me feel like I’m accomplishing something.” — James Fleming, Senior Account Executive, TP-Link USA
“I think that what inspires me is that after many years in the business, I’m still in the business, And doing great! We went from doing Bell & Howell 16mm projectors to IPTV and digital RF. It’s a great business!” — Doug Engstrom, Vice President, Tech Services, Contemporary Research
So, what inspires you?

I’m inspired by the people I’m so lucky to work with. Our end customers are the busiest people I know. Working with a team of customer-focused, problem-solving channel partners and Calero employees to help those customers save time and make quick sense of complex data is a thrill. Our customers, channel partners and employees rock – and they inspire me every day!
