Bob Skelley, CEO, The Channel Company
“Visionary and strategic leadership can make the difference between just surviving and actually excelling in this period of disruptive change for the IT channel. In order for technology suppliers and solution providers to thrive and stay ahead of the competition, they need leaders who are able to envision both the future of the channel and the role their organization needs to play in order to create that reality. CRN’s 2018 Top 100 Executives embody these qualities. They are change agents who deliver unwavering guidance to their companies, always asking where are we headed and not being afraid to take the necessary steps to get there.”
