CRN for their leadership in the channel
FireEye Inc., the intelligence-led security company, announced
today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named five
FireEye employees – Kristi Houssiere, Kimberly Jaecksch, Janice
Kennedy, Karen Kukoda and Sunny Song – to its prestigious 2020
Women of the Channel list. The leaders on this annual listing are
from all areas of the IT channel ecosystem; representing technology
suppliers, distributors, solution providers, and other IT
organizations. Each is recognized for their contributions to
channel advocacy, channel growth and visionary leadership.
CRN editors chose the list from a multitude of channel
leadership applicants and selected the final honorees based on
their professional accomplishments, thought leadership,
demonstrated expertise, and ongoing dedication to the IT
channel.
Each of these FireEye employees brings their own unique
contribution to the channel, as summarized below:
As Senior Director of National Sales, Kristi Houssiere
has been included on CRN’s Women of the Channel and Power 100 lists
several times, in addition to being named one of CRN’s 2020 Channel
Chiefs. Her most recent recognition came from the work she did in
rolling out new partner incentives to increase profitability whilst
launching new enablement and marketing offerings that help educate
partners and drive market demand.
Kimberly Jaecksch is an Account Manager for Public Sector
Distribution. She was nominated for Women of the Channel for a
second year in a row by Carahsoft, a FireEye partner with whom she
works closely. The nomination highlighted the enablement initiative
she has undertaken which has much improved the ease with which
Carahsoft is able to sell and market the FireEye portfolio of
solutions.
As a Director of Channel Sales for Mandiant Security Validation,
Janice Kennedy has made significant contributions to the 200
percent growth achieved in Validation within the strategic partner
organization. In addition to bringing in numerous new partners,
Kennedy was responsible for the on-boarding and enablement behind
these valuable partner relationships.
Karen Kukoda is Senior Director of Cyber Risk Partners,
and is responsible for driving the FireEye channel agenda in the
risk management, legal, and insurance marketplaces. Kukoda’s
partner impact has once again earned her a spot on CRN’s Women of
the Channel list. A key reason for this year’s inclusion is the
work she has done to have FireEye Email Security and FireEye
Endpoint Security designated as Cyber CatalystSM solutions in the
Cyber Catalyst by MarshSM program. This program helps partners and
prospects identify cyber security solutions that can have a
meaningful impact on cyber risk, based on an evaluation led by
independent leading cyber insurers.
Sunny Song is Senior Manager of Partner Programs and
Operations. Her recognition stems from introducing the new FireEye
Affinity Partner Program. This provides a streamlined process for
resellers and distributors to access incentives, program benefits
and enablement, all through a rebranded partner portal.
“To have five FireEye employees recognized by CRN on this year’s
Women of the Channel list signifies the fantastic work of these
individuals and their teams,” said Bill Robbins, EVP, Chief Revenue
Officer & GM of Products at FireEye. “Our partner program and
our solution set has benefitted from several changes in recent
times, from the introduction of partner friendly billing and
subscription models, to an enhanced online partner portal offering
everything a partner could need in one place. Our partner offering
and these latest initiatives would not be where they are today
without the dedication of these FireEye honorees. They are integral
to our number one goal which is serving our customers with high
quality security solutions.”
“CRN’s 2020 Women of the Channel list recognizes an accomplished
group of influential women leaders whose strategic vision and
unique achievements accelerate channel growth through cultivated
partnerships, innovative thought leadership, and unwavering
dedication to the IT channel,” said Bob Skelley, CEO of The Channel
Company. “We are proud to honor them for their accomplishments and
contributions to driving channel success.”
The 2020 Women of the Channel list will be featured in CRN®
Magazine on June 8 and online at www.CRN.com/WOTC.
