SANTA ANA, Calif., July 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Ingram Micro Inc.
(NYSE: IM) today announced that Everything Channel's CRN Magazine
has recognized three of its U.S. executives in this year's annual
Top Women of the Channel listing which honors key customer-facing
female business leaders across vendors' channel organizations,
distributors and solution providers.
Ingram Micro's Jodi Honore, Vice
President, Software, Vendor Management, U.S., Anne Wilcox, Vice President Customer and
Solutions Marketing, U.S. and Holly
Garcia, Senior Director, Vendor Management, U.S. were each
selected for their professional contributions and accomplishments
over the past year and the far-reaching impact their influence is
having on the technology industry.
In addition, Jodi Honore and
Anne Wilcox were named as two of the
elite CRN Power 100 list, which recognizes those female
channel executives who have reached the highest levels of the
corporate ladder based on their professional achievements and
influence wielded over the technology industry. Recipients of this
year's Women of the Channel and Power 100 lists were chosen by the
editors of CRN Magazine and will be featured within the
July 26th issue of the channel
publication.
This is the second consecutive year that Honore, a 29-year IT
channel veteran, has been named as one of the Top Women of the
Channel. She is once again recognized for maintaining Ingram
Micro's strong leadership position in the IT software category. In
the past year, Honore has maintained, managed and grown the
distributor's exclusive agreements with a number of leading IT
vendors including Google, Citrix, CA and Websense. She has also
furthered channel partners' success with both emerging and high
profile software vendors, and continues to play an important role
as a channel advocate for the move to Software as a Service (SaaS)
and cloud computing.
With 12 years of IT channel experience, Wilcox is recognized for
her leadership and ability to create and execute key customer and
solutions marketing initiatives and vertical campaigns aimed at
enabling channel partners to extend their technology knowledge and
skill set to sell a wider, yet more targeted portfolio of products,
solutions and services. In the last 12 months, Wilcox has
increased Ingram Micro's partner enablement resources with the
addition of new training and education programs, as well as
enhancements to the distributor's bi-coastal Solution Centers.
Under her leadership, Wilcox's team has also hosted two highly
successful Partner Connections Summits and introduced the company's
new IMHealth Campaign.
Garcia's 14 years in the IT channel have enabled her to maintain
Ingram Micro's top market share position with Cisco in both product
and services categories. She spearheads the Ingram Micro U.S. Cisco
Division which is focused on initiatives tied to Cisco's four
architectures: data center, collaboration, borderless networks
and small business. Garcia's leadership and team efforts
contributed significantly to Ingram Micro being named Cisco's
worldwide Distribution Partner of the Year and receiving the
worldwide Services Innovation Award at Cisco's Partner Summit
2010.
"Women hold many prominent executive positions at vendor
organizations, distributors and solution provider organizations,
providing critical insight and influence when it comes to
technology and the channel. We want to honor and congratulate these
women for their contributions to the industry and their respective
organizations," says Kelley Damore,
VP, Editorial Director, Everything Channel.
"Through the impressive leadership of all three of these female
executives, Ingram Micro has strengthened its commitment to the IT
industry and its value to our vast network of U.S. channel
partners," says Keith Bradley,
Senior Executive Vice President and President, Ingram Micro North
America. "We're very proud to see their dedication to excellence
honored by Everything Channel."
A special feature of the Women of the Channel is in the July
issue of CRN Magazine and expanded coverage will be featured
