ARG

Mike Shonholz is ARG’s chief revenue officer and has been with the company for over four years. Before that, he was CDW’s director of aggregation, infrastructure and managed services, overseeing its solution architects to develop relevant offerings, go-to market (GTM) strategies and programs to successfully grow revenue and solve clients’ business challenges.

“I think being an influencer probably has a couple different dimensions,” he said. “I think the first is leading by example. Being innovative, having your eye towards the future. But it’s also leading and bringing those around you and having a direct impact on those around you in a really positive way so that we can all take advantage of this moment. We can all win as a result of the evolution of our channel. So I think it’s about keeping your eye on where the puck is going.”

Shonholz said his work philosophy is “attacking” each day.”

“Wake up with the philosophy of we’re pretty fortunate, we have our capacities, we can move and run, and work hard,” he said. “So feeling grateful and fortunate for that every day. And then think about how to maximize and attack the day. How can I influence and impact the people in our organization? How can we influence and impact our customers? How can we advance and lead? At ARG, we want to be the channel disruptor, we want to be the channel leader. We want to be helping continue to form and shape the next chapter. So my philosophy is to get up and attack it.”
