CDW says CFO to retire

CDW announced the planned retirement of its chief financial officer, Ann E. Ziegler, at the end of 2017 after nearly 10 years of service to the company.

Collin B. Kebo, currently vice president, financial planning and analysis and CFO for international operations, will be promoted to CFO effective Jan. 1, 2018.

Ziegler joined CDW as CFO in 2008 and has played an instrumental role in CDW's growth and development. Kebo also joined CDW in 2008, as vice president, financial planning and analysis and assumed CFO responsibilities for the company's growing international operations in 2016. Kebo is a seasoned, thoughtful executive who played a key role in CDW's successful initial public offering and has been integral to the company's international success to date.

"Ann and Collin have partnered together closely for many years, and this announcement is a great example of our robust succession planning process in action," said Thomas E. Richards, CDW chairman and chief executive officer. "Ann leaves a legacy of financial stewardship and discipline that will contribute to our future success for years to come, and I've appreciated her partnership greatly. Collin brings a passion for leading teams and driving results, and his expertise in planning and analysis and deep experience at CDW make him ideally suited for this expanded role."
