"The pandemic has created all kinds of conversations for customers, around anything they can cut. MSPs are seeing a lot of churn as a result, especially at the low end. With that, the MSP/MSSP/MDR markets are re-evaluating their partnerships and tuning for the buyer's journey of the next phase of expansion of managed service consumption," said Layton.

The 2021 Channel Chiefs are prominent leaders who have influenced the IT channel with cutting-edge strategies, programs and partnerships. All honorees are selected by CRN's editorial staff based on their dedication, industry prestige and exceptional accomplishments as channel advocates.

"CRN's 2021 Channel Chiefs list includes the industry's biggest channel evangelists, a group of individuals who work tirelessly on behalf of their partners and drive growth through the development of strong partner programs and innovative business strategies that help bring business-critical solutions to market," said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company.
