The 2015 CRN Channel Chiefs have demonstrated their enduring support for the channel by consistently defending, promoting and executing effective channel partner programmes and strategies.

Following the acquisition of Motorola Solutions’ Enterprise business, Eileen Eck was instrumental in the integration and execution involved in maintaining business as usual so that partners were able to continue to operate in a flawless manner. The acquisition provides partners with a more complete offering to take to market and enables Zebra to purposefully participate in the Internet of Things (IoT) space as leaders in the high-growth enterprise asset intelligence (EAI) category.

“Each year, our editors carefully vet an extensive group of highly accomplished channel executives to highlight those exemplary individuals who earn the mantle of CRN Channel Chief. These executives strive to advance the success and standing of the channel community within their organisations. The 2015 CRN Channel Chiefs lead by example and serve as valuable advocates to help ensure the health and longevity of the IT channel. We applaud their accomplishments and look forward to their continued success,” said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company.

“It is truly an honour to be recognised as a CRN Channel Chief,” said Eileen Eck, vice president of global channel strategy, marketing and operations. “This is an exciting time for Zebra and its channel partners as we look forward to establishing a new, joint partner programme - based on best practices from both current programmes and the industry - later this year to meet the needs of our customers and our partners.”
