TD Synnex Appoints Industry Veteran Chris Fabes as President of Canada

TD Synnex announced that Chris Fabes has been appointed President of Canada, with responsibility for driving the company’s distribution strategy, strengthening vendor partnerships and accelerating customer growth across the Canadian market.

Fabes brings to the table more than two decades of IT channel leadership, with experience spanning the full technology ecosystem, including vendor, distributor and customer perspectives.

“Chris is a proven channel leader with a strong track record of building high-performing teams, deepening strategic partnerships and delivering meaningful outcomes for customers,” said Reyna Thompson, the company’s president for North America. “His end-to-end understanding of the Canadian technology market, combined with his focus on execution, make him well positioned to lead our Canada business into its next chapter.”

Fabes most recently served at SHI, where he led a multi-year strategic growth initiative across Canada, managing a national team focused on the country’s largest enterprise and public sector clients and developing a national vendor strategy aligned with leading and emerging OEM partners. Fabes also previously served as Canadian Channel Chief at Lenovo, where he helped triple channel revenue within three years to more than $1.2 billion and later expanded that channel strategy globally.

“TD Synnex plays a central role in helping the Canadian channel bring technology solutions to market with scale, expertise and trust,” said Fabes. “I am excited to join the team and build on the company’s strong foundation in Canada by working closely with our partners, vendors and customers to create new opportunities for growth.”

Fabes succeeds Mitchell Martin, who retired earlier this year after more than 36 years with the company.
