For the 10th consecutive year, Channel Chiefs were selected by the CRN editorial team based on channel experience, program innovations, channel-driven revenue and public support for the importance of IT channel sales.

According to Kazakevich, "As a company that is 100 percent focused on driving sales through the channel, we are thrilled that three OS33 executives were selected to the list and we look forward to continuing relationships with leading MSPs who can deliver the value and benefits OS33 brings to end users and client companies."
