In 1984, Michael Krasny transformed a simple three-line newspaper advertisement into what would become one of America's leading technology solutions providers. With just $3 and a used computer to sell, he founded MPK Computing, which later evolved into Computer Discount Warehouse - eventually becoming CDW. What started as a one-person operation in Vernon Hills, Illinois, grew from a catalog seller of IBM-compatible PCs into a Fortune 500 company that now serves thousands of organizations across business, government, education, and healthcare sectors. Today, CDW stands as a multi-brand provider of integrated information technology solutions, ranked No. 199 on the Fortune 500 and a member of the S&P 500 Index. The company's evolution from hardware reseller to full-service technology solutions provider reflects decades of adaptation to changing market needs. Under the leadership of Chair and CEO Christine Leahy, CDW has expanded its expertise across cloud computing, security, digital workspace, and infrastructure solutions, employing approximately 13,900 coworkers who help organizations navigate an increasingly complex IT landscape and maximize return on their technology investments.
