DeMarzo, senior vice president and editorial director, Everything Channel.

“Fujitsu is honored to receive the 5-Star rating, as we are focused on building strong customer relationships and developing innovative programs for our partners,” said Lorne Wilson, senior vice president, sales and marketing, Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc.
