through resellers, agents, concessionaires and dealers.
An active business leader, Fullwood

board of General Signal Corp. He
frequently is named among the nation’s top executives, earning recognition in 2007 from Black Enterprise
magazine as one of the “75 Most
Powerful African-Americans in Corporate America,” and in 2004 from VARBusiness magazine as one of the
“Top 100 Executives” responsible for
supporting computer resellers.
A passionate community leader, Fullwood serves as a board member,
trustee or officer for a range of organizations including Rochester Urban League; Rochester Boy Scouts
