Hodge Recognized for Her Contributions to the IT Channel
SAN DIEGO, CALIF. – September 30, 2019 – ESET, a global leader in IT security, today announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named ESET Senior Partner Marketing Manager Kristina Hodge as one of the IT channel’s “100 People You Don’t Know But Should” for 2019. This annual list honors IT channel contributors from the industry’s top vendors and distributors who work tirelessly to support channel partners — often with little recognition from the channel community at large.
CRN’s 100 People You Don’t Know But Should list celebrates the IT channel’s unsung heroes. The CRN editorial team compiles the list using feedback from solution providers and industry executives and identifies behind-the-scenes channel players who help partners drive growth, innovation, and profits.
“Kristina has a critically important role here at ESET and is highly focused on enabling our partners to become trusted security advisors,” said Hope McCluskey, director of channel marketing at ESET North America. “Ensuring excellent service and a high-quality experience is also a top priority, and I know we will continue to provide this through Kristina’s tireless work and that of the entire channel team.”
“The 100 People You Don’t Know But Should list spotlights under-the-radar IT executives who provide channel partners with the resources and support they need to succeed,” said Bob Skelley, CEO of The Channel Company. “We are honored to recognize these individuals in our 100 People You Don't Know But Should list for their exceptional channel contributions.”
The 2019 CRN 100 People You Don’t Know But Should list can be viewed online at www.crn.com/100people. Additional coverage will be featured in the October 2019 issue of CRN Magazine.
