As Arrow Global Components (AGC), a part of Arrow Electronics, we are a leader in distribution and value-added services related to electronic components. We resell, customize, and distribute electronic components to our clients all over the world.

The individual will be required to plan strategies and develop all key relationships to ensure strong foundation for solution selling, maintaining and promoting relationships with customer contacts who will be determining design opportunities and dealing with existing business challenges.
