10 Channel People Making Waves This Week at Intel, Verizon, More

Sometimes what makes a top story for the Channel Futures’ audience is obvious. A highly anticipated merger or acquisition can get the most reads. Often a channel promotion captures readers’ attention. This week, neither topics did. One of our most read and talked about stories was an editorial discussing sexual harassment in the channel. That’s why we’ve featured Dany Bouchedid, who authored the piece, in this week’s Channel People Making Waves.

Of course, our analytics showed foundational stories making an impact, too. The founders of Bridgepointe Technologies are showcased because the company has received a sizeable investment. It’s part of the trend — private equity is becoming a key player in the channel.

When it comes to cybersecurity, it seems as if each week we publish a story of note. For this week, CF talked to two experts who can keep us on track regarding the log4j attacks. Their expertise provides a sigh of relief for companies trying to get ahead of the attacks.

Whether it’s a discussion with Verizon’s new channel chief or a retirement at a major technology firm, we have it here, the individuals making waves this week in the channel community.
