WAYNE, Pa.,
May 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Sungard Availability Services® ("Sungard AS")
announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, named four of
its senior personnel to the esteemed 2016 Women of the Channel
list: Kristin DeMaio, Cristina Greysman, Sarah
Hamilton and Melissa McCoy.
McCoy was also named to the Prestigious Power 100.
Women who comprise this annual list span the IT channel,
representing vendors, distributors, solution providers and other
organizations that figure prominently in the channel ecosystem.
Each is recognized for her outstanding leadership, vision and
unique role in driving channel growth and innovation.
"We are thrilled that once again, an impressive group of Sungard
AS women have gained national recognition for the hard work they do
to build a robust and rewarding channel program, which in turn
helps our customers achieve fully recoverable production services,"
said Carmen Sorice, Senior Vice
President, Global Channel Sales and Programs.
CRN editors select the Women of the Channel honorees on the
basis of their professional accomplishments, demonstrated expertise
and ongoing dedication to the IT channel.
"These executives have made a lasting mark on our
industry—growing and elevating partner programs, leading
transitions to new business models and introducing cutting-edge
go-to-market strategies, among other remarkable achievements," said
Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel
Company. "We congratulate all the 2016 Women of the Channel and
celebrate their singular contributions to the advancement of the
channel ecosystem."
This is DeMaio's first year to receive the honors from
CRN; Greysman, Hamilton and McCoy were all named to the
Women of the Channel list in 2015. In addition to their
accomplishments at Sungard AS, two of the women named to the
list—Greysman and DeMaio—were part of the inaugural class of the
Institute for Emerging Women Leaders (IEWL) program at Sungard AS,
a program dedicated to fostering employee growth and developing
leaders. Hamilton and McCoy were key drivers of the company's Cisco
Partner Summit Geographical Region Award as Cloud Partner of
the Year: Americas in 2015 and 2016.
These awards come on the heels of Sungard AS' successful
expansion of its channel partner program into the
U.K., Ireland, France, Belgium, Luxemburg and Sweden, which Greysman helped to orchestrate.
Sungard AS introduced its Channel Partner Program in 2009 across
the U.S. and Canada. The European
expansion comes after the continued success of this existing
program, which has produced consecutive year-over-year double digit
growth and been repeatedly recognized with partner and industry
awards.
The 2016 Women of the Channel list will be featured in the June
issue of CRN Magazine and online at www.CRN.com/wotc2016.
