The List Recognises the Most Future-Minded, Influential and Impactful Channel Leaders in EMEA
Celine Cazali, Chief Partner Officer, SAP UK & Ireland, is among the 20 honourees on the first Channel Futures EMEA Channel Leaders list. The list recognizes these individuals as leaders who will determine the future of the channel as they redefine the partner-supplier relationship.
The EMEA channel leaders were selected based on their companies’ market share, growth potential, strength of partner network, scope of partner program and the individual’s impact on the partner ecosystem.
Celine Cazali, Chief Partner Officer, SAP UK & Ireland, said: “It’s an honour to be included in the Channel Futures EMEA Channel Leaders nominee list, and I’m particularly delighted to see a number of fellow female leaders included in this list. The channel is a such a vibrant community and on a daily basis I see many female leaders who have found their voice and are leading the charge to bring such a positive influence on the wider IT industry.
“Our Channel partners are at the core of SAP’s strategy, which is to scale with its partner ecosystem in order to deliver on our customer success. It’s fantastic and humbling to be part of this vibrant community of channel leaders and to have the opportunity to shape our partner strategy in such transformational times.”
This list is the third of seven that will be unveiled one by one through the end of this year. The first list, recognizing channel leaders in security, was unveiled on Oct. 18. Channel leaders in networking and connectivity were named on Nov. 1. Subsequent lists will honour senior partner executives in communications and collaboration (including UCaaS) managed services, distribution and cloud. The lists will be produced on an annual basis and expanded into other industry segments.
