"This year's Power 100 Women of the Channel list honors the most successful and influential women in the IT channel - a traditionally male-centric industry. The Power 100 list, which is an elite subset of our annual Women of the Channel list, recognizes the 100 most influential women of the channel based on their overall achievements, and their influence in the technology industry," said Kelley Damore, Vice President and Editorial Director at Everything Channel.

Beltz-Norrie has been with Tech Data for over 11 years, progressing through various positions of leadership. After holding several management positions in the Company's purchasing department, Beltz-Norrie successfully led the sales team responsible for the Company's national accounts. In September 2010, she was promoted to Vice President and now manages the Company's relationship with Cisco Systems (News - Alert), one of Tech Data's top customers. Under her leadership Tech Data was named Top Innovator of the Year by Cisco in 2010. Tech Data's successful alignment with Cisco supported growth of 22% year over year and share gains in key segments and solution categories.

"We are very proud of Angie's well-deserved selection to this year's Women of the Channel and Power 100 lists," said Murray Wright, President, The Americas at Tech Data. "The continued growth of our data center business is a strategic priority for Tech Data, and her leadership in support of Cisco Solutions has been a key growth driver. We are pleased to recognize Angie and appreciate her continued contributions to our success."
