This is the sixth consecutive year that CRN has developed the Channel Chief list.  Top Channel Chiefs were chosen based on criteria including policy and program innovations made during the past year, the amount of revenue their company generates through partners, their willingness to speak out publicly on behalf of the channel, and the number of years they have dedicated to channel activities.

“Successful channel programs and strategies help fuel the booming Solution Provider ecosystem, and each of this year’s Channel Chiefs should be applauded for building and advocating the most successful of those programs and strategies,” said Dan Dignam, vice president and publisher of CMP Channel.
