Senior Manager of Partner Marketing Pamela
Sharma is a five-year veteran of Zerto, leading the development of worldwide
partner programs and bringing in qualified sales leads through the Zerto
Alliance Partner (ZAP) program. It is her third year in-a-row being recognized
as one of CRN's Women of the Channel. While at Zerto, she has been pivotal in
its recent engagement with HPE partners through her efforts creating turnkey,
go-to-market campaigns focusing on ransomware recovery and securing platinum
level sponsorships. Thanks to her leadership, Zerto's channel partners are now
integrating disaster recovery across healthcare, finance, government, and
manufacturing, while educating new partners with sales kickoff events, resulting
in securing platinum level sponsorships.
Global Alliances Director Christina
Rauscher has worked in the channel for more than 10 years with prior experience
as senior channel manager at Bright House Networks, partner manager at Comcast
Business and as senior CSP partner account manager at Citrix, specializing in
the cloud. Now at Zerto, she works with top public cloud companies and some of
the largest global service integrators. She is known for her keen understanding
of growing and sustaining business in a highly competitive, rapidly-changing
marketplace. In the past year alone, Rauscher has grown the public cloud
relationship by 400% through sourced opportunities and oversaw a team embedding
Zerto offerings into two GSIs in less than six months, achieving YTD 206%
inclusive of public cloud and GSI, including a strategy recognized in the top
70 ISVs in public clouds.
"We are ecstatic
to announce this year's honorees and shine a light on these women for their
significant achievements, knowing that what they've accomplished has paved the
way for continued success within the IT channel," said Blaine Raddon, CEO of
The Channel Company. "The channel is stronger because of them, and we look
forward to seeing what they do next."
"It's such an honor to be named to CRN's
Women of the Channel list three years in a row," said Sharma. "Our collective
success as a team at Zerto is attributed to both the organization and our
ability to prioritize efforts that provide the largest ROI while also focusing
on progress over perfection, positivity, and motivation for our team as a
whole."
"My team is the reason we have achieved
this success at Zerto," said Rauscher. "I'm very grateful for their support, as
I love working with folks I can learn from and who help me grow. The positive
attitudes of our team, in addition to their unwavering commitment to our goals,
allow us to learn from both failure and opportunity. They deserve this honor as
well and I plan to share it with all of them."
