Chris Nelson of HYCU Recognized on the Prestigious 2025 CRN Channel Chiefs List

HYCU, Inc., a leader for modern data protection for on-prem, cloud services, and SaaS, and one of the fastest growing companies in the industry, announced that CRN, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Chris Nelson, Vice President, Global Sales and Business Development, to the prestigious 2025 CRN Channel Chiefs list, which recognizes the IT vendor and distribution executives who are driving strategy and setting the channel agenda for their companies.

Chris Nelson has been instrumental in driving sales and establishing a foundation for future success with strategic technology, alliance, and channel partners. Nelson has extensive experience in the data protection, disaster recovery, and multi-cloud industries capitalizing on high-velocity, transactional sales to align with HYCU's ambitious growth targets.

"This is a tremendous recognition for Chris and his leadership skills. In a short-time since joining HYCU, he has made a significant impact in laying the groundwork for future growth," said Simon Taylor, Founder and CEO, HYCU. "Chris provides a balanced approach to leading sales and aligning our strategic channel partners with the services and support they need to be successful in delivering for their customers. At a moment in time when IT continues to be faced with outages, disruptions, the threat of ransomware, and malicious actors, it is critical that our partners have the right solutions in place to protect and recover data no matter what happens and no matter what IT environment they are using, from on-prem to cloud to SaaS. Today, there are still too many unprotected SaaS applications in use across IT, and we all need to work together to make sure that whenever a customer or a partner's customer faces a disruption, they can be back up and running in minutes, not hours, or days. Congratulations Chris, this is so well deserved. All of us at HYCU are thrilled."

The Channel Chiefs list, released annually by CRN, showcases the top leaders throughout the IT channel ecosystem who work tirelessly to ensure mutual success with their partners and customers.

"This year's honorees exemplify dedication, innovation, and leadership that supports solution provider success and fosters growth across the channel," said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content, and Executive Editor, CRN, at The Channel Company. "Each of these exceptional leaders has made a lasting channel impact by championing partnerships and designing creative strategies that get results. They've set a high bar in the channel, and we're thrilled to recognize their standout achievements."

Chris Nelson added, "It's always great to see the external recognition of HYCU's growth and our dedication to the channel community around the world. Our Channel partners reinforce the need to solve customer challenges they face with legacy data protection solutions. The lack of true functionality to manage on-prem solutions, virtual and physical, but that also extend to native public cloud and most importantly the massive growth SaaS data protection needs is critical. We are committed to our global channel, and we are focused on enabling our strategic alliances and partners throughout the coming year."
