Women Of The Channel Spotlight: HP Canada CEO Mary Ann Yule

HP Canada CEO Mary Ann Yule isn’t afraid to admit that she was once laid off by an employer.

“In retrospect, I learned it was good for me and I learned a lot from it,” she said in an interview with CRNtv. “As we get these jobs that men have traditionally had, men have had lay-offs in their lives so now women are going to have these experiences too.”

HP Canada named Yule as its leader in 2016. Before that, she was the vice president and general manager of CDW Canada. In an interview with CRNtv, she took a look back on her career and discussed the lessons learned along the way.

“Truly be authentic,” Yule advises to those looking to go in their careers. “Understand what turns you on and enjoy doing and then give everything you’ve got. I’m a huge proponent of work hard. You prepare yourself and then you work hard at what you do so you give it your best all the time.”
