“We are extremely excited to have Phil give our customer keynote at the 2023 AASA Vision Conference,” said Paul McCarthy, president and CEO at AASA. “These conversations at Vision between supplier leaders and key customers are vital and contribute to the collaboration and problem-solving that help suppliers and channel partners succeed together.
