With more than 20 years of channel and marketing experience, Turgeon joined KnowBe4 in 2017 to develop and execute a global channel strategy. Since onboarding, Donna has made a direct impact on the success and growth of the program. In addition to helping drive 180 percent year-over-year global channel sales growth, last week the company announced explosive year-over-year revenue figures in the U.K. with a leap of 553 percent.
“I am thrilled to be recognized by one of the world’s leading channel media brands, as it further validates the importance of the security awareness training market,” said Turgeon. “In today’s dynamic market, Partners are required to sort through the transitions of business models, the introduction of new technologies and the evolving demands of their customers. It is hard for them to know where to focus their efforts to ensure growth and prosperity. The KnowBe4 Channel Program is committed to helping Partners take the fullest advantage of KnowBe4’s suite of security awareness and simulated phishing tools to deliver them effectively and efficiently. I look forward to continuing to take the KnowBe4 partner program to the next level of growth and accelerate our partners’ success.”
“The executives on CRN’s 2018 Channel Chiefs list stand out for their exceptional leadership, vision and commitment to the channel,” said Robert Faletra, Executive Chairman of The Channel Company. “These individuals deserve special recognition for their development and support of robust partner programs, innovative business strategy and significant contribution to the overall health of a vigorously growing channel. We applaud each Channel Chief’s impressive record of accomplishments and look forward to their future successes.”
Channel Chief honorees are selected by CRN’s editorial staff on the basis of their professional achievements, standing in the industry, dedication to the channel partner community, and strategies for driving future growth and innovation. Each of the 2018 Channel Chiefs has demonstrated loyalty and ongoing support for the IT channel by consistently promoting, defending and executing outstanding channel partner programs.
