That’s Patrick Oborn (middle), co-founder and chief product officer, Telarus, the first of seven 2020 honorees to attend the Circle of Excellence dinner.
All pictures include Channel Partners/Channel Futures sales director Thomas Baker and/or Kelly Danziger, Informa Tech, VP, market lead — channel, unless otherwise noted.
Salwa Scarpone, now an independent marketing and event consultant, was recognized for her work at AppSmart in 2020.
John DeLozier, a four-time member of the Circle of Excellence, is president of Intelisys. He’s pictured here with senior executive assistant Kathy Bushong.
Michelle Ragusa-McBain is global lead and channel community evangelist, MSP and XaaS, Cisco. Also pictured is her husband, Jay McBain, principal analyst, channels, partnerships and ecosystems, Forrester.
Another incredible class of Channel Futures Circle of Excellence inductees celebrated their win at the Channel Partners Conference & Expo. In fact, two classes got to toast one another.
That’s because, of course, due to the pandemic, we weren’t able to host our annual Circle of Excellence dinner in 2020. So we doubled the celebration at this year’s event.
Check out our pictures of award winners getting their recognition in our slideshow above.
