“The individuals on CRN’s 2019 Channel Chiefs list deserve special recognition for their contribution and support in the development of robust partner programs, innovative business strategies, and significant influence to the overall health of the IT channel,” said Bob Skelley, CEO at The Channel Company. “We applaud each Channel Chief’s remarkable record of accomplishments and look forward to following their continued success.”
With more than twenty years of experience in the IT and storage industry, Diodato joined INFINIDAT in 2018 to further develop INFINIDAT’s growing and maturing partner channel program. Over the last year, he has taken a data-informed approach to better engage with existing partners and expand the overall program – driving revenue growth and helping INFINIDAT continue to evolve its solution set to better meet the needs of both customers and partners. As a direct result of his commitment and strong strategic plan, channel sales now account for a majority of all INFINIDAT sales.
“It is a huge honor to be recognized as a 2019 Channel Chief. It is truly a testament to the hard work of the entire INFINIDAT team and to the strong partnerships that we have built. Without them, and without those partners working alongside us every step of the way, this would not have been possible,” said Mitch Diodato, Head of Channel Sales for North America. “INFINIDAT’s clear focus on the needs of the customers and partners – rather than on its own transformation and corporate drivers – is unique. I cannot wait to see how we build on the current program in the coming year.”
