In February of 2025 CRN will recognize the top channel executives in the industry with its annual CRN Channel Chiefs list, the definitive guide of channel management movers and shakers.

The Channel Chiefs list identifies the channel executives who consistently defend, promote and execute effective channel partner programs and strategies. Those making the list will be chosen by CRN editors based on their track record of channel accomplishments, standing in the industry, dedication to the partner community and plans for driving future business innovation and channel growth.

Inclusion on the prestigious Channel Chiefs list recognizes the commitment of the selected executives and their companies to current and prospective channel partners. Those selected for the comprehensive Channel Chiefs list also will be eligible for consideration for CRN's "2025 Most Influential Channel Chiefs" list, which spotlights a small subset of Channel Chiefs honorees as the top executive leaders driving the channel agenda.

Executives with responsibility focused on other geographies (i.e. EMEA, APAC) are not eligible for the NA & Global version and should apply here: 2025 Channel Chiefs Application - EMEA & APAC
