The award distinguishes top leaders in IT who excel at driving growth and revenue through channel partners, further validating Hoyt and Druva’s extensive efforts in building a world-class channel program. Channel Chief honorees are selected by CRN’s editorial staff on the basis of their professional achievements, standing in the industry, dedication to the channel partner community and strategies for driving future growth and innovation.
