Red Hat's Rachel Cassidy and Margaret-Ann Bolton make prestigious
list for third year in a row
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced that two of its channel leaders have been
named to The
Channel Company's 2015 CRN® Women of the Channel list.
This marks the third year in a row that Rachel Cassidy, vice president
of Global Partner Enablement, and Margaret-Ann Bolton, senior director
of Global Partner Marketing, have been recognized by CRN for
their leadership, vision, and dedication to channel programs. In
addition, this marks the second year in a row that Cassidy has been
recognized as one of CRN's Power 100. The Power 100 spotlights an
elite subset of Women of the Channel honorees whose insight and
influence in their respective companies help drive channel success.
CRN's annual Women of the Channel list honors outstanding female
executives for their achievements within vendor channel organizations
and the far-reaching impact these achievements are expected to have on
the future of technology. This year's Women of the Channel were reviewed
and selected by the editors of CRN based on their accomplishments
and the influence they wield over the technology channel.
The Women of the Channel will be featured in the June issue of CRN, and
online at www.CRN.com.
In addition to their broader contributions to Red Hat's channel success,
Cassidy and Bolton helped grow the strategic partners accredited to sell
Red Hat solutions. The majority of these accreditations were attained
remotely through Red Hat's cloud learning environment, OPEN-TLC (Online
Partner Enablement Network-Training Learning Cloud) as well as the
launch of Red Hat's new partner portal - Red Hat Connect for Business
Partners.
Being named to the Women of the Channel list is the latest in a string
of recognitions for Red Hat by CRN. Earlier this year both Rachel
and Margaret-Ann were named to CRN's list of Channel
Chiefs, along with 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. Red Hat also recently received a 5-Star rating in CRN's
2015 Program Partner Guide for the third year in a row.
