Margaret-Ann Bolton, Rachel Cassidy, Mark Enzweiler, D. Robert
Martin, and Scott Musson honored for leadership, advocacy, and
commitment to partner success
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced that five leaders from its channel
organization - Margaret-Ann Bolton, senior director, Global Partner
Marketing; Rachel Cassidy, vice president, Global Partner Enablement;
Mark Enzweiler, senior vice president, Global Channel Sales and
Alliances; D. Robert Martin, vice president, North American Partner
Sales; and Scott Musson, vice president, Global Strategic Alliances -
have been named to CRN's
2015 list of Channel Chiefs. Enzweiler was also named by CRN
as one of "The
50 Most Influential" channel chiefs.
2015 marks the sixth time Enzweiler has been named to the prestigious
Channel Chief list since arriving at Red Hat, and the third Channel
Chiefs recognition for Martin. Red Hat's channel leaders were recognized
among the most powerful leaders in the IT channel, holding direct
responsibility for driving growth and revenue for Red Hat through work
with partners. They were selected for inclusion based on their track
record of channel accomplishments, standing in the industry, dedication
to the partner community, and plans for driving future business
innovation and channel growth.
Their recognition reflects significant strides made by Red Hat in the
channel. Red Hat has continued to grow and refine its Red
Hat Online Partner Enablement Network (OPEN) and Training Lab Cloud,
which are both designed to help partners understand, deliver, and sell
Red Hat solutions. Additionally, in 2014, Red Hat introduced Amazon
Test Drives with Amazon Web Services, which enable Red Hat's
partners to run, test, and demo solutions.
The Channel Chiefs recognition is one of many honors bestowed by CRN
toward Red Hat over the past year. Red Hat was recognized as one of the "Coolest
Cloud Vendors" in CRN's February 2015 issue - the second year
in a row Red Hat has been named to this list. The company was also
recently named to CRN's "Data
Center 100," a collection of the top companies powering, supporting,
and protecting today's complex datacenters.
