“Seventy-six percent of CEOs thinking that their current business model will be unrecognizable in the next few years and ecosystems are the leading drivers of change,” said Jay McBain, principal analyst – channels, partnerships and alliances at Forrester. “Channel Partners has an excellent opportunity to be the connective tissue that brings together partners of all types, vendors and distribution to realize this future. Every company in every industry is becoming a technology company and Robert Demarzo understands these changes and can help all members of the community capture the opportunity ahead.”

“The channel is emerging from 2020 stronger than ever. It faces an incredible period of opportunity and prosperity,” said DeMarzo. “At this moment, what every executive and organization in the ICT channel needs is leadership to accelerate growth by making the right decisions and avoiding missteps. That requires insight and passion. I am thrilled to play a pivotal role here at the Informa channel organization to help MSPs, agents and tech suppliers navigate the channel’s future in this unprecedented time. With the world’s largest channel events, most influential media properties and most dedicated peer-led communities, we will help all ICT professionals identify the right technologies, services, partnerships and strategies to advance their businesses.”
