Every year, this list honors the IT channel executives who work tirelessly to advance the channel agenda and deliver successful channel partner programs and strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thomas, Vice President of Worldwide MSP &amp; Channel Programs at Malwarebytes, was recognized for his leadership and oversight of the company\u2019s recent MSP channel growth and momentum, especially following the company\u2019s recent prioritization of the MSP Program for its overall go to market strategy. Within his first twelve months, Brian drove 175% year-over-year growth in the Malwarebytes\u2019 MSP program, signed 30 new distribution channels, and recruited more than 1,500 new MSP partners into the program. In addition, he hired and led a global and cross-functional sales team. This team will continue to grow to scale, alongside the rapidly growing Malwarebytes MSP Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m honored to be recognized on this year\u2019s Channel Chiefs list, especially alongside so many other like-minded and inspirational leaders,\u201d said Thomas. \u201cMalwarebytes\u2019 partner network is essential to our ability to serve under-resourced teams that have historically been overlooked by the cybersecurity industry. I look forward to continuing to expand and scale our offering in the years to come, helping MSPs further address that need.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2023 CRN Channel Chiefs were selected by the editorial staff based on their record of business innovation and dedication to the partner community. This year\u2019s list represents the top IT executives responsible for building a robust channel ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOnce again, this year\u2019s list gives well-deserved recognition to the IT Channel Chiefs who are dedicated to driving the channel agenda and advocating for the development of strong channel partnerships,\u201d said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. \u201cUnder their exceptional leadership, influence, and innovation, the IT channel vendor community continues to deliver solutions and services that meet the rapidly evolving needs of their solution provider partners and their customers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2023 CRN Channel Chiefs list will be featured in the February 2023 issue of CRN Magazine and online at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.CRN.com\/ChannelChiefs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.CRN.com\/ChannelChiefs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Malwarebytes<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Malwarebytes believes that when people and organizations are free from threats, they are free to thrive.
