SAN JOSE, Calif., June 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Extreme Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: EXTR), a leader in high performance networking, today announced that Theresa Caragol, vice president of Global Channels, and Sandra Glaser Cheek, senior director of Global Partner Strategy, Programs and Enablement, have been named to the CRN 2014 Women of the Channel list This is the second year in a row the duo has made the list and marks Caragol's third consecutive appearance. The annual honor highlights the accomplishments of female executives and the impact they are having on the advancement of the
IT Reseller industry. Glaser Cheek was also honored as an "Up-and-Comer" for female executives who are considered rising stars in the industry.
When Extreme Networks acquired Enterasys Networks in September 2013, the company doubled its North American distributor/reseller base and significantly expanded its product portfolio. With over 1,000 active distributors and resellers currently enrolled in Extreme Networks' North American channel partner program, Caragol and Glaser Cheek have dedicated the past year to a smooth integration of the two-channel focused companies, pursuing new strategic relationships globally while adding value to existing distributor and reseller relationships around the world. Since the acquisition, the pair has led several significant developments in the channel, including the rollout of a new network analytics solution called
Purview, the first major product launch available to both companies' partner bases.
"I am thrilled that Theresa Caragol and Sandra Cheek are receiving this well-deserved recognition from CRN for our award-winning channel program," said Kelley Steven-Waiss, senior vice president of human resources for Extreme Networks. "Both Theresa and Sandra are stellar leaders driving Extreme's competitive global channel program, underscoring our commitment to our valued distributors and resellers."
