For this podcast episode, I was excited to welcome a friend and former colleague, Aletha Noonan, the Senior Vice President of Product and Partner Management at CDW. In this partner spotlight of CDW, Aletha shares her focus to solve for customers and do the right thing.

Aletha is responsible for managing CDW's relationship with its community of industry-leading technology partners. Also, she directs the day-to-day operations of CDW's procurement team, keeping a broad selection of technology readily available to customers. She and her team orchestrate the integration of partner solutions into CDW's omnichannel sales organization.

I've known Aletha since we worked together at Microsoft. I invited her because I focus on helping partners team with organizations like CDW to scale better and deliver their solutions. I was also very interested in her career journey.

In this episode of the podcast, Aletha and I discuss:

* How to partner with CDW* Her view on the transformation and what we see at this time* As a successful woman of color, she shares her perspective on how she advanced her career to a senior role at a Fortune 500 company. * Advice for partners on how to optimize for success.

I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I enjoyed my time with my friend, Aletha Noonan.
