McAfee, the device-to-cloud cybersecurity company, announced today that CRN®,
a brand of The
Channel Company, has named Chari Rhoades, director of channel sales
and distribution at McAfee to its list of 2019 Power 100, an
elite subset of its prestigious Women of the Channel list.
CRN’s editorial team chooses the list from a multitude of channel
leadership applicants and selects the final honorees based on their
professional accomplishments, demonstrated expertise, and ongoing
dedication to the IT channel. The Power 100 belong to an
exclusive group of the overall list: women whose leadership and vision
are key drivers of their companies’ success and have had significant
influence to move the entire IT channel forward.
Chari Rhoades, director of channel sales and distribution, has been with
McAfee for six years. Chari and her distribution team are focused on
leveraging distribution capabilities to increase McAfee’s market share.
Her commitment in overseeing this key program has resulted in the
generation of 100+ net new logos. She also leads a team responsible for
the Americas channel program, enablement and communications to McAfee’s
Americas channel partners.
“CRN’s 2019 Women of the Channel list honors influential leaders who are
accelerating channel growth through mutually-beneficial partnerships,
incredible leadership, strategic vision, and unique contributions in
their field,” said Bob Skelley, CEO of The Channel Company. “This
accomplished group of leaders is driving channel success and we are
proud to honor their achievements.”
“The channel is a critical piece of McAfee’s business, and it requires a
team of dedicated individuals working together with our partners to grow
and sustain these vital relationships,” said Ken McCray, head of channel
sales and operations, McAfee. “It’s an honor to have CRN recognize not
only Chari Rhoades for her inclusion on the Power 100 list, but also
Gabriela Ferado and Natalie Tomlin on the overall Women of the Channel
list. These individuals play a key role in driving McAfee’s success with
our partners and have earned this outstanding achievement because of
their efforts and dedication. Congratulations Chari, Gabriela and
Natalie.”
