OREANDA-NEWS. May 17, 2016. Kaspersky Lab North America announced today that CRN, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Leslie Bois, Vice President, Channel Sales, to its list of the 2016 Power 100, an elite subset of its prestigious annual Women of the Channel list. This list identifies an exclusive group of channel influencers drawn from the larger pool of CRN’s 2016 Women of the Channel: the most powerful women leaders across IT channel organizations whose expertise and vision have positioned their companies for success.

“This award truly is a team effort and a testament to the contributions the entire Kaspersky Lab channel team has made to the industry, as well as to our partners,” said Leslie Bois, Vice President, Channel Sales, Kaspersky Lab North America. “We constantly strive to offer the most profitability and revenue opportunity, ensuring that our partners are deeply engaged and highly successful. Hats off to the whole channel team for their expertise and dedication.”

This award comes on the heels of significant channel accolades, further demonstrating Kaspersky Lab’s commitment to a 100 percent channel model:

  • Leslie Bois was recently recognized as a 2016 CRN Channel Chief, the annual list that represents top leaders in the IT channel who excel at driving growth and revenue in their organizations through channel partners.
  • Kaspersky Lab recently announced that it was given a 5-Star rating in CRN’s 2016 Partner Program Guide. This annual guide is the definitive listing of technology vendors that service solution providers or provide products through the IT channel. The 5-Star Partner Program Guide rating recognizes an elite subset of companies that offer solution providers the best partnering elements in their channel programs.
  • The company was named to CRN’s inaugural 2016 Security 100 list as one of the Coolest Endpoint Security Vendors.

CRN’s editorial team selects the Women of the Channel honorees on the basis of their professional accomplishments, demonstrated expertise and ongoing dedication to the channel. However, only the most influential of the list’s constituents are selected for the Power 100, each singled out for her unique role in the advancement of her own organization and the IT channel at large.
