Channel Futures has released its 2022 DE&I 101 list. This year’s 101 honorees come from throughout the information and communication technology channel. Representing multicultural backgrounds, they all work to promote diversity, equity and inclusion in the channel.
Again this year, honorees work in a wide range of occupations for a variety of businesses. Included are CEOs of international software firms, founders of MSPs, suppliers’ channel chiefs, sales directors for technology advisers and more. They educate, advocate and demonstrate a dedication to promoting DE&I both inside and outside the channel.
Nominations for the 2022 DE&I 101 list were solicited between April 28 and June 27 on the Channel Futures website and through social media. Individuals could nominate themselves or others for the list. Applications were open to managers, leaders and individual contributors. All submissions were thoroughly reviewed by members of the Channel Futures editorial team with input from advisory board members.
Click through the slideshow above to meet the members of the second annual Channel Futures DE&I 101. This is a list, not a ranking. Names are in alphabetical order.
