Our weekly Channel People Making Waves counts down the top stories of the past seven days. We highlight the individuals behind the stories, this week featuring AWS, Masergy, Microsoft and more.

First Up, the AWS Partner Network is celebrating 10 years. At the same time, the company’s channel chief, Ruba Borno is marking her first few months in the role. What does that mean for Channel Futures readers? Our Kelly Teal explores that and examines Borno’s goals for the position.

On a different note, one company is seeing a surge of employee and executive departures, including its channel chief. Jeff Schwartz reports on this and the company’s $16.5 billion private equity buyout.

Also, we hear from Kaseya CEO Fred Voccola about the company’s recent acquisition of Datto. He spends a lot of time reassuring the channel about the deal, which you can read about in this list.
