Introducing the 2022 Channel Futures Technology Advisor (Agent) 101 — Part 2, M-Z

It’s time for a new awards program — like nothing you’ve seen before. That’s where the brand-new, first annual Channel Futures Technology Advisor 101 comes in.

We set out to recognize people who are leading the agent model into the future as it rapidly evolves.

Thus, today Channel Futures launches the very first list of top vendor- and distributor-agnostic leaders in the agent channel. The slideshow above features people with an ongoing commitment to thought leadership, customer experience and business success.

You might more commonly know technology advisors as agents. We think they are one of the channel’s best kept secrets. This partner model emerged decades ago in the form of “circuit slinging” telecom brokers and has evolved with the changing technological landscape. They source a wide variety of technologies, ranging from WAN services to cybersecurity. They drive deep relationships with customers, acting as a vendor-neutral sourcing expert for a deep portfolio of suppliers.

Channel Futures compiled the list through the nominations of its advisory boards, national technology services distributors and other industry groups. The Channel Futures editorial team vetted and finalized the final group. We present the honorees in alphabetical order. This list runs from M-Z. You can find the A-L list here.
