McAfee, Inc. Honored by Global Technology Distribution Council for Outstanding U.S. Sales Growth through Distribution

In stark contrast to recent economic conditions, McAfee, Inc. (NYSE:MFE) grew sales through its IT distribution partners in the United States during the past 12 months. In recognition of this accomplishment, the company was honored for the second consecutive year with a ‘Rising Star’ award by the Global Technology Distribution Council (GTDC), a worldwide industry association dedicated to defining and promoting the role of wholesale distribution. GTDC members represent more than $100 billion in annual worldwide channel sales.

The exceptional performance by McAfee was noted by hundreds of IT manufacturers and publishers who rely on GTDC distributors to supply inventory to technology solution providers worldwide. A formal ceremony took place at the annual GTDC Summit which brings together top IT distribution executives, channel leaders from major technology companies and other industry experts.

“To be honored with a Rising Star award by the GTDC is a testament to the success of our channel vision and strategy,” said Alex Thurber, senior vice president of worldwide channel operations at McAfee. “McAfee remains dedicated to addressing the needs of our partner and customer base through education, while continuing to enhance our program and delivery options.”

Sales figures that determine Rising Star award winners are based on the past year’s actual U.S. revenue as calculated by industry research organization The NPD Group using its Distributor Track service. To be eligible for a Rising Star award, vendors are required to have sold corresponding products through IT distributors for a minimum of one year. Available by subscription, the Distributor Track aggregates actual distributor sell-through data to enable sharp insight into channel sales and pricing trends with the ability to drill down into specific product subcategories, including detailed attributes based on specific areas of interest.
