Embedded Executive: Peggy Carrieres, Global VP of Sales Enablement, Avnet

We are in a serious chip shortage. Why is that the case? Well, it depends who you ask.

In this week’s Embedded Executives podcast, I asked Peggy Carrieres, who is the Global Vice President of Sales Enablement for Avnet. For better or worse, Avnet sits right in the middle of the shortage, and they make their business selling chips. Peggy explains why, but also gives some insight into what an engineer should do, both in the short term and the long term.
