WestconGroup's Murphy, Jessup and Dumala Recognized for IT Channel ContributionsTARRYTOWN, N.Y., June 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- WestconGroup, the leading value-added global distributor of security, unified communications, network infrastructure and data center solutions, today announced that three of its top executives were named to The Channel Company's 2015 CRN® Women of the Channel list – Lynn Murphy, executive vice president, North America; Catherine Jessup, chief financial officer; and Katie Dumala, chief marketing officer. Murphy was also chosen as one of the 2015 CRN Women of the Channel Power 100, an elite group that has shown exceptional achievement and influence in the channel. This year's Women of the Channel were carefully reviewed and selected by the editors of CRN based on their accomplishments within the technology channel. The Power 100 spotlights a subset of Women of the Channel honorees, whose insight and impact in their respective companies help drive channel success. "These executives have made a lasting mark on the industry, expanding the breadth of influence in the technology channel," said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. "We congratulate the Women of the Channel, and celebrate their innovative contributions and commitment to the IT channel community." Under Murphy's leadership, WestconGroup's North American region reached high double-digit growth during 2014. By instilling a winning culture, creating opportunities for her team's on-going development and improving operational efficiency, Murphy significantly enhanced the company's vendor partner and customer experience. As CFO, Jessup led her team in analyzing key success factors behind WestconGroup's operations and shaping them into best practices. She useda similar approach when evaluating prospective acquisitions to expand WestconGroup's cloud solutions offering, ultimately bringing Verecloud Inc., a developer of an advanced channel distribution platform for cloud and services solutions, into the WestconGroup family. During her first year as CMO, Dumala took a hard look at the distributor's marketing organization to find new ways of engaging with vendor partners and jointly advance both WestconGroup's and the vendors' brands within the solution provider community. She put into place a new structure more keenly focused on promoting the distributor's global capabilities related to cloud solutions, technology deployment and services capabilities, while maintaining emphasis on its specialty technology offerings. "At WestconGroup, we are committed to diversity – and these three women bring unique and valuable perspectives to our business," said Dolph Westerbos, CEO, WestconGroup. "Lynn, Katie, and Cathy are constantly innovating and contributing new ideas and strategies that are the basis of WestconGroup's success. I'm extremely proud to have them on my team." The Women of the Channel will be featured in the June issue of CRN, and online at www.CRN.com.
