Steward (born 1951) is Chairman and Founder of World Wide Technology, Inc.,[4] one of the largest African-American-owned businesses in America.[5] David Steward is one of just four black billionaires in America, being 745th in the Forbest Billionaires 2019 list. [6] Early yearsSteward was born in Chicago, Illinois, the son of Dorothy, a homemaker, and Harold Steward, a mechanic.[5] As a child growing up in Clinton, Missouri, Steward faced poverty and discrimination.[7] "I vividly remember segregation—separate schools, sitting in the balcony at the movie theater, being barred from the public swimming pool," notes Steward, who was among a small group of African-American high-school students who integrated the public swimming pool in Clinton in 1967.[8] Steward received his B.S. degree in business from Central Missouri State University in 1973.[2][5] Business careerAfter graduating from college, Steward worked at Wagner Electric as a production manager (1974–1975), a sales representative at Missouri Pacific Railroad Company(1975–1979), and a senior account executive at Federal Express (1979–1984), where he was recognized as salesman of the year and inducted into the company's hall of fame in 1981. He owned Transportation Business Specialists and Transport Administrative Services in the years leading up to founding World Wide Technology.[5] He is also a founder of Telcobuy, a global technology and supply chain solutions company.[9] World Wide TechnologyIn 1990, Steward founded World Wide Technology, a systems integrator.[2] In 1993, WWT concentrated its focus on the implementation of enterprise wide, conversion services, and telecommunication networks.[10] In 1999 World Wide Technology spun off its telecommunications division to form Telcobuy.com. Sales for the two companies continued to grow, although revenues slipped in 2002 as World Wide Technology felt the impact of the technology recession. In 2003 combined reported revenues passed $1 billion, and Steward formed World Wide Technology Holding Company as the parent company for the two firms.[5] World Wide Technology's 2018 revenue is estimated to be greater than $11 billion[11], which would rank it as one of St. Louis' largest private companies.[12] Publications
