by the CRN editorial staff for their dedication, industry prestige, and
exceptional accomplishments in driving the channel agenda and

through its newly enhanced Partner Advantage Program. The program
efficiently and effectively arms Commvault's global
partner ecosystem with the tools, knowledge and financial incentives to
drive new business opportunities, achieve higher margins and grow
together with Commvault.
"It is an honor to be recognized by CRN and it's especially gratifying having joined Commvault last year. Being able to join a company that's moving into its second act is a gift, especially one that consistently produces great technology and is a recognized leader in the industry," said Rowe. "I'm here to help take the company to the next level, with a key objective to build on our momentum by providing an even stronger foundation for the mutual success of Commvault and our worldwide partner ecosystem."
"I'm
ecstatic to be recognized by CRN as a 2020 Channel Chief. This honor
reinforces the work our great company has done over the past year to
transform itself into a partner-led organization," said Sorice III. "We
are continuing to leverage portfolio innovations, together with the
acquisition of Hedvig and the debut of our Metallic SaaS
portfolio, to help partners stay relevant with their customers and
increase their profitability. We are the company that makes things
happen for partners by helping them provide proven, market leading,
Intelligent Data Management solutions to their customers."
"The IT channel is undergoing constant evolution to meet customer demands and changing business environments," said Bob Skelley, CEO of The Channel Company.
