Jennifer Gallego of AVANT Recognized as One of CRN’s 2017 Women of the Channel

AVANT Communications, a channel sales enablement company and the nation’s premiere distributor for next generation technologies, announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Jennifer Gallego, executive vice president of channel sales-west, to its prestigious 2017 Women of the Channel list. The executives who comprise this annual list span the IT channel, representing vendors, distributors, solution providers and other organizations that figure prominently in the channel ecosystem. Each is recognized for her outstanding leadership, vision and unique role in driving channel growth and innovation.

CRN editors select the Women of the Channel honorees based on their professional accomplishments, demonstrated expertise and ongoing dedication to the IT channel.

Before joining AVANT in 2009, Gallego spent 10 years at XO developing, building and deploying channel programs—ultimately leading her territory in sales for the company. As a founding member of AVANT and current member of AVANT’s leadership team, she is instrumental in AVANT’s success and continues to influence the company’s growth and evolution. Jen currently leads channel sales-west at AVANT where she built and deployed successful programs for the largest VARS in the world. Her range of skills is an asset driving AVANT’s ability to partner across the entire channel ecosystem. She undertstands the complexities of the largest VARS and the nuances needed to work with nimble technology consulting firms—as well as the underlying technology landscape. It’s a winning combination.

“These extraordinary executives support every aspect of the channel ecosystem, from technical innovation to marketing to business development, working tirelessly to keep the channel moving into the future,” said Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company “They are creating and elevating channel partner programs, developing fresh go-to-market strategies, strengthening the channel’s network of partnerships and building creative new IT solutions, among many other contributions. We congratulate all the 2017 Women of the Channel on their stellar accomplishments and look forward to their future success.”

“We’re immensely proud of Jen,” said Drew Lydecker, president and co-founder fo AVANT. “This award is a testament to the way that she leads her team to get done exactly what she sets out to accomplish. Jen is a closer. She has worked to establish AVANT’s channel sales efforts as the best in class. Together, we’re shaking up the industry and changing the way business is done in the channel. Jen’s passion and commitment to innovative solutions set her apart, and help us beat the competition every day.”
