CRN Channel Chiefs Directory 2024
Launched in 2016, the CRN Channel Chiefs is our annual list of the Australian channel chiefs and the partner-focused business leaders who drive the local partner strategies for the world’s leading technology vendors.
The CRN team works hard to contact and list the top channel leaders working in Australia for major technology vendors. The list is open to senior executives in dedicated partner-facing roles.
The directory lists Channel Directors, Channel Managers, Partner and Alliance Managers and other similar titles. Essentially, the Channel Chief is a vendor’s most senior channel executive for Australia.
The Channel Chief 2024 directory is currently under maintenance and will launch in September 2024 at an exclusive golf event.
