Part of its annual ranking of 100 Top Executives, CRN selected Bellini as one of the most innovative executives finding new ways to bring hot technologies and service opportunities to the channel in its November 23 article. Besides comparing him to Rockne, one of the most inspirational and charismatic college football coaches of all time, CRN also said that Bellini "has provided the platform technology, sweat, blood and inspiration to power SMB VARs to higher ground."
Bellini was also praised in the CRN article for setting up ConnectWise Capital, a $20 million investment fund to bring innovative channel-only products to market. Initial investments include CharTec (hardware as a service) and LabTech Software (a remote monitoring and management specialist).
"It's both personally and professionally gratifying to be selected by such an influential publication as CRN as one of the most innovative executives in the channel this year," said Bellini. "ConnectWise has had such an amazingly successful year that it would be easy to sit back and rest on our laurels but the reality is that we've only just begun. Our success fuels the success of all of our partners and we are committed to ensuring that they continue to efficiently grow their business and increase revenue. I won't say that we should 'Win one for the Gipper,' but I will say that I look forward to providing even more inspiration, innovation and improved business value to those in the IT Nation throughout the upcoming year and beyond."
Earlier this year, CRN magazine named Bellini to the Channel Chief list for the second straight year; as well as recognizing ConnectWise executives Jeannine Edwards and Linda Brotherton for their accomplishments in the technology industry two years in a row. ConnectWise has won several other awards this year for its company and professional services automation software, including: being one of the top contenders for the ASCII Cup for its proven commitment to the channel; three Breakaway 2010 awards at Breakaway, the annual conference hosted by CompTIA; named among the top products of 2010 and Best Channel Vendors in Managed Services by Business Solutions magazine; and receiving the MSP 100 award.
