"To be a visionary, working with like-minded and forward-thinking partners, requires an executive team and partner leadership that works in lock-step," said Simon Taylor, Founder, and CEO, HYCU. "Bogdan not only brings that same forward thinking and vision but knows how to work with partners to execute programs and joint solutions that are wins for them and their customers, as well as HYCU. Congratulations Bogdan, all of us at HYCU are thrilled to see you receive this recognition. It is a true testament to your hard work and grit that the editors at CRN have placed you among the leading voices serving the channel community in our industry. Well done and well deserved!" 

Bogdan has been working with VARs, channel, and distribution partners for more than 15 years. During this time, he has developed a deep understanding and industry perspective into data protection, disaster recovery, migration, backup, and ransomware protection across both on-premises and public cloud environments. He works closely with channel and resell partners and their customers to demonstrate the value and advantages of purpose-built data protection and DR solutions for multi-cloud and SaaS environments. He, along with the team, continues to refine and augment the CRN 5-Star Global Partner PACE Program. Through his leadership, the program continues to add new partners and drive interest within HYCU's existing partner community. His recent work with partners was instrumental in their support of the recent introduction of R-Cloud, the world's first low-code, purpose-built data protection development platform built to make it easy for partners and SaaS vendors to deliver a true enterprise class SaaS backup and recovery service. 

"CRN's 2023 Channel Chiefs recognition is given exclusively to the foremost channel executives who consistently design, promote, and execute effective partner programs and strategies," said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company.
