This list recognizes individual professionals within a vendor organization who are responsible for driving the behind-the-scenes efforts in channel marketing, operations and sales.

The 100 People You Dont Know But Should are the directors, vice presidents and officers who lead their channel program without fanfare, exhibiting the strength, determination and creativity required to support solution providers on a daily basis.

Shannon helps to strengthen Dattos relationship with our partners and the channel through meaningful programs, support and unrelenting commitment. We are thrilled to have her on the Datto team, said Bill Pisani, VP of Marketing for Datto.

Kohn is hoping to unveil an enhanced Partner Alliance Program in early fall of 2012 that will bring Datto partners added benefits and assistance through a tiered partner engagement structure.

Im pleased to deliver our second annual list of 100 People You Dont Know, But Should by continuing to honor the unsung leaders in the IT channel, said Kelley Damore, Vice President, Editorial Director, UBM Channel. This list recognizes the behind-the-scenes influencers within a vendor organization who are making a significant impact on the companys channel program, and the channel as a whole, by working in any capacity necessary to drive profit and success. While solution providers may already be aware of a vendors Channel Chief, many are still unaware of the individuals behind the chiefs; the home office shot callers responsible for delivering a successful channel program. Many of these individuals lead the way without recognition, and yet they have made a significant impact in driving the success of their channel program. Im pleased to bring attention to their contributions.

A list of winners will be published in print and is also available online.
