CRN's Top 100 Executives list highlights the executives shaking up the status quo, supporting channel partners, and placing big bets on where the market is headed. CRN commends these visionaries across four subcategories: the 25 Most Influential Executives, Top 25 Channel Sales Leaders, Top 25 IT Innovators, and Top 25 Disruptors. Each subcategory has its own set of strengths that positively impact the IT channel.
