- Dec 9, 2020
Sumit Singh (M.S.E. ‘03) has enjoyed an exceptional career marked by perseverance and integrity — two important characteristics of a leader. In an interview with Cockrell School of Engineering’s Texas Engineer Magazine, the proud international Longhorn describes his experiences working for top companies from Amazon to Dell, as well as his current role as CEO at Chewy.

This provided me the confidence and the mental elasticity to connect with a diverse collection of people, teams and topics at a level that many leaders are not able to appreciate.”
