Meet Channel Futures’ Top Distribution Channel Leaders for 2022

The importance of the relationship between technology advisors (agents) and technology services distributors (TSDs) cannot be overemphasized. Cooperation and agility are essential to keeping pace with evolving technology and changing client needs. These leaders from TSDs are stepping up to move the channel forward.

This is the seventh and final installment in a series of Channel Futures Channel Leaders of the Year lists. We unveiled them one-by-one as the year drew to a close. We recognized senior partner executives in security, networking and connectivity, EMEA, communications and collaboration and managed services suppliers.

These leaders have earned a reputation as partner-friendly, customer-focused and future-minded. Some of them have been putting their mark on the industry for decades; others are rising stars. These leaders will determine the future of the channel as they redefine the partner-supplier relationship.

We’ve chosen these leaders based on their company’s market share, growth potential, strength of partner network, scope of partner program and the individual’s impact on the partner ecosystem. Partner feedback played a key role, with special attention on how these individuals supported and advocated for their agent, VAR and MSP partners.

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.
