Woburn, MA – September 28, 2020 – Kaspersky is pleased to announce that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has recognized Randall Richard, head of enterprise sales for the U.S., as one of the IT channel’s 100 People You Don’t Know But Should for 2020. This annual list pays tribute to the below-the-radar best and brightest who power the channel every day.
Based on feedback from leading solution providers and industry executives, the CRN editorial team uses the 100 People You Don’t Know But Should list to draw attention to those outstanding channel players who may not be household names, but still work tirelessly to keep their partners thriving and the IT channel growing.
Randall is responsible for overseeing and directing Kaspersky’s enterprise sales organization for the U.S., while continuing to drive business-to-business growth with the Kaspersky United network of trusted channel partners. His proven sales track record and deep understanding of the cybersecurity industry is instrumental to the company’s overall B2B growth in the region, and his efforts have already been legitimized as a result of significant business opportunities and success that Kaspersky has experienced since he joined the company earlier this year.
“It is with much excitement and deep appreciation that I accept this award, as it represents the continuous dedication my team and I have to working closely with our channel partners to care for Kaspersky’s customers,” said Randall Richard, head of enterprise sales at Kaspersky North America. “I look forward to deepening our relationships with our channel partners by leveraging the full breadth of Kaspersky’s comprehensive security solutions to not only help their clients, but also help our partners achieve their overall business goals.”
“Managing a successful channel partner program today calls for a small army of people, but only a few Channel Chiefs tend to enjoy widespread recognition,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. “With the 100 People You Don’t Know But Should, we are delighted to shine a spotlight on an exceptional group of unsung team members, giving them some of the acclaim they deserve for their indispensable contributions to channel success.”
The 100 People You Don’t Know But Should will be featured in the October issue of CRN Magazine and can be found online at www.crn.com/100people.
