The Circle of Excellence was created in 2014 to recognize ICT leaders who are helping create business value for customers. In 2020, channel executives were faced with the additional challenge of helping the indirect channel and their clients not only survive but thrive during the pandemic. The 2021 Circle of Excellence inductees rose to that challenge in myriad ways.

This year’s list contains three familiar faces and several others that, although familiar to the industry, are making their debut in the Circle of Excellence.

Scroll through the gallery above to meet this year’s inductees (in alphabetical order). They come from all corners of the industry.

We will honor them all during a special dinner at the Channel Partners Conference & Expo, Nov. 1-4. It’s not too late to register for the world’s largest independent channel event!
