#18: Rackspace Channel Personnel Changes

There were big changes at the top of Rackspace‘s channel in January.

The story cracking our top 20 was the departure of Michael Stephens (pictured), the former global partner channel chief at the managed cloud computing vendor. He told us he had “eclipsed all his goals” and was taking some time away from the business.

But also noteworthy was the departure of Lisa McLin, head of Rackspace’s global channel and alliances program, the following week. She landed as channel chief at Unisys, the global IT services company.

Rackspace filled those roles with Vicki Patten and Renee Taylor, respectively.
