Summary

CDW confirmed it made organizational changes in July that included coworker reductions as part of its AI-first 'Geared For Growth' initiative aimed at up to $200 million in cost savings. The company declined to disclose the number of impacted employees, though multiple former employees posted on LinkedIn about being let go from roles including security, corporate real estate and business development. CDW previously cut staff in July of the prior year and laid off between 450 and 750 employees in April 2023. Company statements framed the reductions as efficiency and reinvestment actions to focus resources on higher-growth, customer-facing areas as it embeds AI across operations.
