Zebra Technologies’ Jeff Barteld Recognized as a 2021 CRN Channel Chief
Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), an innovator at the front line of business with solutions and partners that deliver a performance edge, today announced CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Jeff Barteld, Senior Director of Global Channel Strategy and Programs to its 2021 list of Channel Chiefs. Released annually, the prestigious CRN® Channel Chiefs list recognizes leading IT channel vendor executives who continually demonstrate outstanding leadership, influence, innovation, and growth.
The 2021 Channel Chiefs are prominent leaders who have influenced the IT channel with cutting-edge strategies, programs and partnerships. All honorees are selected by CRN’s editorial staff based on their dedication, industry prestige, and exceptional accomplishments as channel advocates.
Barteld is responsible for channel strategy and programs and last year, he and his team led the creation of a framework and process for new channel development to more quickly build programs outside of Zebra’s core business. In response to COVID-19, Barteld and his team also updated PartnerConnect program guidelines to support partners and help them focus on their business, employees and customers.
“CRN’s 2021 Channel Chiefs list includes the industry’s biggest channel evangelists, a group of individuals who work tirelessly on behalf of their partners and drive growth through the development of strong partner programs and innovative business strategies that help bring business-critical solutions to market,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. “The Channel Company is proud to recognize these channel influencers and looks forward to following their continued success.”
CRN’s 2021 Channel Chiefs list will be featured in the February 2021 issue of CRN® Magazine and online at www.CRN.com/ChannelChiefs.
