Datto's Rob Rae Recognized As One Of CRN's Channel Chiefs
Norwalk, CT (PRWEB) February 24, 2014 -- Datto, one of the leading vendors in hybrid cloud backup, disaster recovery and business continuity solutions, announced today that Rob Rae, Vice President of Business Development has been named one of CRN’s 2014 Channel Chiefs. This prestigious list of the most powerful leaders in the IT channel recognizes those executives directly responsible for driving channel sales and growth within their organization, while evangelizing the importance of the channel throughout the entire IT Industry.
CRN Channel Chiefs were selected by the CRN editorial team based on channel experience, program innovations, channel-driven revenue, and public support for the importance of IT channel sales.
As a relentless advocate for the IT community, Rae has led the channel-only Datto to greater heights in the short six months he’s been with the Company. Under his guidance, the training, marketing and business development departments are flourishing with comprehensive resources for internal use and Partner development. Rae has successfully restructured and implemented a more user friendly and manageable, yet extensive Datto Partner Plus Program, a beneficial tool for Datto’s 5,000+ global Partners. He also helped Datto launch its first Partner Conference in 2013, with more than 250 Partners in attendance. His favorite part of being in the Channel, however, is connecting face-to-face with Partners, whether he’s known them for 20 years or 20 minutes.
“We are pleased to highlight the many executives throughout the industry who work tirelessly to advance the standing of the channel community within their organizations. The CRN Channel Chief honorees lead, inspire and engage peers and serve as valuable advocates to help ensure the health and longevity of the channel within the IT industry. We applaud their efforts and look forward to their continued success,” said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company.
“It’s an incredible privilege to be selected as a CRN Channel Chief,” stated Rae. “The Channel Company is a premiere organization and leading voice in the channel connecting all aspects of the information technology market.”
