Meet Channel Futures’ Top 20 Cloud Channel Leaders for 2022

The cloud computing sector is made up of a range of players. Not all companies deliver the same cloud services and platforms, nor should they. Indeed, taking strategic pieces of various cloud providers’ portfolios tends to serve end users best — and in many cases, cloud channel leaders are vital to helping to make that happen.

This is the sixth in a series of Channel Futures Channel Leaders of the Year lists. We are unveiling them one-by-one until the end of the year. They include senior partner executives in security, networking and connectivity, EMEA, communications and collaboration, managed services and distribution.

These cloud channel leaders have earned reputations as advocating for partners, all while keeping customers and the future in mind. Some have worked in the tech industry and the channel for years, while others are newer. Either way, these leaders are guiding the trajectory of one of the world’s most disruptive technologies.

We’ve chosen these cloud channel leaders for reasons including, but not exclusive to, company market share, growth potential, strength of partner network, scope of partner program and the individual’s impact on the partner ecosystem. These leaders will be eligible for our 2023 Channel Futures Influencer of the Year Award, as well as the Channel Futures/Channel Partners Circle of Excellence Award
