SAN JOSE, CA – February 5, 2023 – Graphiant, a provider of next-generation edge services, today announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Cory Kurtz to the prestigious 2024 CRN® Channel Chiefs list, which recognizes the IT vendor and distribution executives who are driving strategy and setting the channel agenda for their companies.
The 2024 CRN Channel Chiefs were selected by the editorial staff based on their record of business innovation and dedication to the partner community. This year’s list represents the top IT executives responsible for building a robust channel ecosystem.
“I firmly believe that the channel plays a vital role in amplifying the value of our products to our intended customers through marketing, sales, and support, said Cory Kurtz, Managed Service Providers and Channels Director at Graphiant. “The strongest value proposition that channel partners possess is their customer relationships, and they seek to align with vendors exhibiting strong product leadership. The alignment of the channels’ and the vendors’ business models pave the way for a profitable and successful partnership.”
Cory brings years of cloud and WAN architecture experience to the channel and MSP program at Graphiant. Unlike traditional channel resources, he blends business development, sales, and technical skills to bring value to the largest value-added resellers in the US.
“After the launch of our partner program in late 2023, the focus has been growing the number of partnerships and following through with the pillars in which the program was built,” said Khalid Raza, CEO and Founder of Graphiant. “As part of the Graphiant partner program, we are committed to partner profitability with a simple and profitable program.”
