The Breakthrough

Steward founded World Wide Technology in 1990. WWT grew from a small government contractor into a global technology solutions provider.

Why It Matters

WWT demonstrates that a Black-founded technology company can reach massive enterprise scale outside the traditional Silicon Valley founder narrative.

The Technology

WWT works across infrastructure, systems integration, cloud, cybersecurity, software, AI and digital transformation for large organizations.

Builder's Lesson

Geography does not set the ceiling. Enterprise technology rewards execution, trusted relationships and the ability to solve difficult systems problems at scale.
