The Arizona Technology Council, in conjunction with the Arizona Commerce Authority, recently honored Phil Gallagher with the AccountabillT Lifetime Achievement Award at the Governor’s Celebration of Innovation (GCOI) Awards held on Oct. 13, 2021. This award, sponsored by AccountabillT, an IT solutions and services company, honors an individual or individuals who have greatly impacted the technology industry in the State of Arizona. Finalists were announced in August and then voted on by the tech community. Gallagher received the most votes and was awarded this honor at the event.
Gallagher dedicated the award to the Avnet team in Arizona and all 14.5K employees around the world.
“We would not be in business without our people,” he said.
This was an especially poignant time to receive the award as Avnet celebrates its 100th Anniversary. Gallagher has been in the global electronics industry for 39 years, including 26 years in Phoenix.
