IGEL's Brad Tompkins Recognized on CRN's 2020 Channel Chiefs ListSAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- IGEL, provider of the next-gen edge OS for cloud workspaces, announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Brad Tompkins, Chief Sales Officer, to the 2020 Channel Chiefs list. This annual list recognizes the top vendor executives who continually demonstrate exemplary leadership, influence, innovation, and growth for the IT channel. CRN's 2020 Channel Chiefs list honors the distinguished leaders who have influenced the IT channel with cutting-edge strategies and partnerships. The executives on this list have shown outstanding commitment, an ability to lead, and a passion for progress within the channel through their partner programs. Tompkins joined IGEL, a 100% channel-led, partner-first company, in 2017 at Vice President of Sales, North America, bringing with him more than 20 years of experience in software and hardware sales. In 2019, he was elevated to Chief Sales Officer, after pioneering the development and launch of IGEL's ELA model. With IGEL Workspace Edition, IGEL partners and their customers now benefit from flexible software licensing options that de-couple the hardware from the software, making it easier and more cost-effective than ever to sell, manage and support IGEL's software defined endpoint solutions. The launch of the new ELA model in 2018 resulted in a number of record-breaking software deals for IGEL. "I am proud to be a part of the IGEL Family and to work closely with our partners to enable customers to bring their workspaces to the Cloud," said Tompkins. "We could not have experienced our tremendous growth without the help of our partners." During 2019, Tompkins and his team also contributed to IGEL achieving the following milestones:
Andy Whiteside, CEO and Founder of XenTegra, an IGEL Platinum-level partner, said, "Brad has been a welcome addition to our partnership with IGEL since joining the IGEL team in 2017. His leadership and engagement with our team has enabled XenTegra to substantially grow both our IGEL and Citrix business in 2019, culminating in the IGEL 'Partner of the Year' and the Citrix 'US Partner of the Year' wins. We believe that the sales growth overall at IGEL has been a major factor, both directly and indirectly, in the growth of our business since Brad joined IGEL." CRN's 2020 Channel Chief honorees were chosen by the CRN editorial staff for their dedication, industry prestige, and exceptional accomplishments in driving the channel agenda and evangelizing the importance of channel partnerships. "The IT channel is undergoing constant evolution to meet customer demands and changing business environments," said Bob Skelley, CEO of The Channel Company. "CRN's Channel Chiefs work tirelessly, leading the industry forward through superior partner programs and strategies with a focus on helping solution providers transform and grow. Our team here at The Channel Company congratulates these outstanding individuals for their dedication to the channel." CRN's 2020 Channel Chiefs list will be featured in the February 2020 issue of CRN Magazine and online at www.CRN.com/ChannelChiefs.
