“I am honoured to be named to this list, and grateful to CRN UK for its coverage of the EMEA region,” said Andy Walsky. “Working with channel partners is the key to success for any company and must be treated with the highest priority. My channel philosophy is to treat the channel as you would want to be treated yourself, always be fair and keep your word. Developing trust with channel partners is critical—it takes time to build, but it can be quickly ruined. I have deep respect for the work our channel partners do every day and they should be rewarded accordingly.”

ExaGrid works with resellers and distributors worldwide. The ExaGrid programs are designed to be easy for partners, with support from the ExaGrid sales team and without milestone commitments. ExaGrid is known for having a Tiered Backup Storage system that “just works,” is not oversold or undersized, and provides its customers with the best customer support industry from an assigned level 2 technical support engineer, ensuring that partners’ customers are well taken care of. ExaGrid provides its reseller partners with a registration program to protect accounts and margins, and SPIF incentives.

The CRN Channel Leaders list recognises IT vendor and distribution executives who lead channel strategies for their organisations and drive innovations across channel initiatives in EMEA. The annual list honours channel leaders who are dedicated to building and evolving strategies that drive success for their channel partners and customers.

“The leaders we honour this year reimagine what’s possible in the channel and consistently deliver best-in-class programs that drive results for solution providers across EMEA,” said Victoria Pavlova, Editor, CRN UK, at The Channel Company. “Their ability to forge meaningful partnerships and craft dynamic strategies is transformative for providers and the channel. It’s a privilege to recognise their groundbreaking contributions and celebrate their role in shaping the future of the channel.”
