Last night at the McAfee Americas Partner Summit we recognized elite performance in our channel by handing out our annual partner awards. This year’s group of 19 partners were selected out of the 1000s of partners who we work with and evaluate. Our 2016 winners personified excellence in security practice business acumen throughout 2015 and embody the three pillars of the McAfee Partner Program: strategic engagement, mutual growth and profitability, and driving better customer security outcomes.
Speaking from my perspective as a long-time channel executive, our annual partner awards are absolutely one of the best ways to cap off a couple days of invigorating business discussions with our partner community. Everyone loves recognition. And selfishly it reminds me how the McAfee Partner Program makes the industry’s best security practices better.
These partners are helping lead the charge and pave the way, so others will want to follow. They challenge our entire channel to improve and make my job highly-fulfilling. Most importantly, they are raising the bar on value-added services that benefit our end customers by expertly leveraging McAfee’s suite of integrated security technology and services that simplify the Threat Defense Lifecycle.
My deepest thanks goes to all of our partners for making the commitment to investing in our organization, but right now the folks listed below earned a special place in my heart. I’m already excited thinking about the next set of security practices that we’ll be able to bring along this year for our 2017 awards.
