Sales Leader by CRN
Symantec Corp (NASDAQ:SYMC), the global leader in cyber
security, is proud to announce today that CRN, a brand of The
Channel Company, has named Greg Clark, CEO of Symantec, to its 2016
list of Top 100 Executives and John Thompson, Global VP of Partner
and Channel Sales, to its 2016 Top 25 Channel Sales Leaders. These
annual lists recognize leaders from the technology industry who
have played an integral role in shaping today’s IT channel, whether
by driving huge cultural shifts, creating rich opportunities or
forging innovative new routes to success.
Greg Clark is a security industry veteran with a proven track
record in building large, global companies to scale. During his
five-year tenure at Blue Coat, Clark was an unparalleled leader,
navigating Blue Coat through the rapidly changing world of
cybersecurity and making several strategic acquisitions, including
that of Perspecsys and Elastica, to strengthen the company’s
technology offering. Following the closing of Symantec’s
acquisition of Blue Coat on August 1, Clark now serves as the CEO
of Symantec and has joined the Symantec Board. Prior to his roles
at Symantec and Blue Coat, Clark founded security software firm
Dascom, which later became the foundation for IBM’s Tivoli security
product. At IBM, he served as a distinguished engineer for
security.
John Thompson runs Symantec’s Worldwide Partner Sales, which is
a multi-billion dollar ecosystem that includes more security
software revenue with the partner community than any other company
in the marketplace. Building on two decades of industry experience,
Thompson has spent the past two years at the helm of Symantec’s
channel led organization overseeing partner incentive programs,
sales and coverage models across all partners resulting in new
revenue growth for Symantec. Partners will continue to be a pivotal
aspect of Symantec’s route to market strategy.
“The executives on our 2016 Top 100 list have led their
companies to extraordinary achievements, both technological and
entrepreneurial,” said Bob Faletra, CEO of CRN. “We congratulate
each of this year’s Top 100 Executives and celebrate their
