Channel people at TD Synnex, Accenture, Broadcom, Snyk and more are among the individuals making waves this week. Channel Futures’ Channel People Making Waves showcases those who have made an impact over the last seven days. (See our slideshow above.) It’s also a recap of the most-read stories on our website.

First up is a talk Julie Sweet, CEO of Accenture, gave at the Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo. A massive crowd of IT leaders listened to Sweet describe her career trajectory. They also got her thoughts on the future of hybrid work and the metaverse. You can read more about Sweet in our No. 5 story of the last seven days.

Nearly each week Channel Futures reports on a tech industry layoff. This week we covered three, including one that impacted Snyk. The company laid off 14% of its workforce. We published comments by Snyk’s CEO, who said the company had a desire to be more efficient. It was the primary reason the layoffs occurred.

Finally, Cybereason is no longer rumored to be up for sale. However, the company would have made a decent buy. As one analyst said, it was among “the first trailblazers in endpoint detection and response.”

That’s a wrap. And, if you didn’t catch our previous edition, you can find it here.
