Vonage (NYSE:VG), a global business cloud communications leader,
has announced that Mario DeRiggi, SVP of National Channel Sales and
Business Development, has been named a Channel Partners “Top Gun
51” Channel Leader. This prestigious recognition acknowledges
premier leaders in the indirect IT and telecom channel and is
awarded by Channel Partners and Channel Futures editors.
Top Gun 51 channel leaders are defined as possessing integrity,
knowledge and confidence, the ability to inspire others, commitment
and passion. Top Gun 51 criteria also calls for leaders to be
advocates for the channel model, committed to partners’ business
success and dedicated to earning partners’ trust.
To compile the Top Gun 51 list, launched this year in tandem
with the annual MSP 501, Channel Partners and Channel Futures
editors invited those who know channel executives best —
distributors, master agents and industry analysts — to nominate
leaders who exemplify channel advocacy and leadership.
“I’m delighted to be recognised as a “Top Gun 51” Channel
leader”, DeRiggi said. “This award reaffirms our belief in the
power of the Vonage Partner Network, and the importance of
providing a consistently differentiated offering to our partners to
help them meet the unique needs of their customers”.
The Vonage Partner Network is designed to enable partners to
solve their customers' communication needs by leveraging the One

Vonage API Platform. With a dedicated team of 25 channel managers,
along with 30 of the largest master agents in the nation and
thousands of subagents, the Vonage Partner Network provides a
one-stop-shop for partners, as well as tiered incentives and
ongoing consultative support, to help them serve their
customers.
DeRiggi has more than 25 years of experience in building sales
channels and programs for business cloud solutions from the ground
up. His expertise has been instrumental in growing Vonage’s channel
program - the Vonage Partner Network - as the Company continues to
enhance the solutions, tools and support to help partners drive
better business outcomes for their customers.
“Today’s channel leaders must be futurists, accountants,
technologists, marketers and evangelists”, says Lorna Garey, editor
in chief of Channel Partners and Channel Futures. “We wanted to
recognise these executives based on insights from within the
community itself. I want to thank all of the master agents,
distributors and analysts who helped us assemble a list that
includes well-known names along with rising stars across a diverse
range of companies”.
