SEATTLE, Feb. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- NetFortris, an international provider of managed cloud communications solutions and network services, announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named NetFortris channel executive Shawn Berry to its prestigious list of 2021 Channel Chiefs. The top IT channel leaders included on the CRN list continually strive to drive growth and revenue in their organization through their channel partners.
Each of the 2021 Channel Chiefs has demonstrated exceptional leadership, vision and commitment to their channel partner programs. Channel Chief honorees are selected by CRN's editorial staff as a result of their professional achievements, standing in the industry, dedication to the channel partner community and strategies for driving future growth and innovation.

Berry, an 18-year veteran of IT and telecom channels sales, joined NetFortris in February 2020 as Regional Vice President of Channel Sales, Central & Northeast, and was quickly promoted to Vice President of Channel Sales, U.S., on the strength of his success in growing his region amid the challenges of the pandemic.
