Record 38 Cisco Leaders Make CRN’s 2022 Women of the Channel List
Every year around the beginning of May, CRN releases their highly-anticipated Women of the Channel List. And every year, more and more women around the world—and from Cisco—are recognized for their channel expertise and vision.
This year’s list is not only the largest yet, but the number of Cisco leaders who were named to CRN’s 2022 Women of the Channel list is the most ever at 38! I am incredibly proud and humbled to have so many amazing women leaders as colleagues and friends.
Clearly, Cisco is well represented this year, so let’s take a look at who’s on the list.
Women of the Channel Power 100
First, I’d like to extend a big congratulations to Alexandra Zagury, Vice President, Partner Managed Services and aaS Sales; Julia Chen, Vice President, Global Partner Transformation; and Jose van Dijk, Vice President, Partner Performance and Operations; for being named to CRN’s Power 100 List. This distinction is a subset of the CRN Women of the Channel List and is awarded to female executives whose insights, vision, and influence help propel the channel forward. And there is no doubt these three great leaders are pure Channel Power!
Recognition like this is not possible without our partners and our leaders who are extremely committed to the Cisco partner community. Our partners’ success drives us to be bold, innovate, listen to your feedback, and most importantly make a positive impact with our customers.
