Raquel Wiley
Vice President of Marketing
NetFortris

“I am truly honored to be amongst this group of amazing individuals that are committed to moving the needle within our industry and more specifically within the channel. Although I’ve been very fortunate to have been a recipient of other awards, this one is near and dear to my heart. It’s been my desire to be the change that I want to see and experience in life. I’ve been encouraging others within our industry, especially those in leadership, to do the same. I am a true believer that ‘You can’t just talk about it; one must BE about it’. This award is like my report card/progress report – it tells me that I’m moving in the right direction, and it encourages me to continue to do even the more.”

At the same time, she is a rising voice for DE&I in the telecom channel and a sought-after expert and frequent speaker on DE&I topics such as gender and racial diversity. Wiley is a former officer and member of the board of directors for Alliance of Channel Women (ACW) and serves as chair of ACW’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Committee.
