At Belden, Creating Possibilities isn’t just what we do—it’s how we show up every day. It’s how we connect people, information, and ideas, and how we challenge what exists to build what comes next for our customers and each other. That spirit comes to life through our people, and this year we’re proud to recognize the 2025 CEO Values Awards recipient team members who are delivering results and helping shape Belden’s future. Please join me in congratulating Shakeel Ahmed, recipient of the Continuous IMPROVEMENT Is Our Way of Life Value Award. Starting in 2022, Shakeel spearheaded the creation of our Global Risk Resilience platform—beginning with a control tower designed to reduce our global revenue risk exposure. The impact has been significant: • Nearly 22% reduction in revenue risk • A transition now underway to an AI/ML-driven third-party platform to further strengthen risk management • A proactive approach that’s earned positive feedback from auditors and customers and is helping position Belden toward 100% supply chain resilience across product lines Shakeel’s leadership, coordination, and perseverance through complex challenges exemplify what continuous improvement looks like in action. Congratulations, Shakeel—and thank you for raising the bar for all of us. #CreatingPossibilities #CEOValuesAwards #ContinuousImprovementIsOurWayOfLife #ConnectToWhatsPossible
