"We congratulate all the 2016 Women of the Channel and celebrate their singular contributions to the advancement of the channel ecosystem."

The women executives 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.

As vice president of global channel sales for Ixia, Lori Cornmesser leads the company's partner strategies, development, and sales execution. Her vision paved the way for ever-increasing efficiencies and success for partners working with Ixia, and for initiatives that expand their product portfolio and help drive new customer opportunities. These include the development of, and ongoing enhancements to, Ixia's worldwide Channel Xcelerate Partner Program, which features opportunity registration, full onboarding, partner specializations, and a fast-growing array of technical and sales enablement platforms.



"With so many amazing women impacting the way companies are driving business through the channel, it is truly a great honor being named to the CRN Power 100 list," said Lori Cornmesser. "Supporting our channel partners and creating new opportunities for them is a priority, not just for me and my team, but for all of Ixia."
