Cato’s Addie Finch Named to CRN’s Women of the Channel Power 100 List Since our founding in 2015, Cato Networks has been committed to being a partner-first company, where our channel partners, solution providers and resellers are at the forefront of our business strategy and growth. Our progress would not be possible without our channel ecosystem and, by extension, the guidance of Cato's channel leaders. We are excited by this week’s news that Cato’s own Addie Finch (Area Vice President, Americas - VAR & Strategic Partners) has been named to CRN’s 2024 Women of the Channel Power 100 list. The Power 100 recognizes some of the most influential women leaders from technology vendors and distributors who consistently contribute their advocacy and expertise to advancing the channel. In addition, Addie and three other Catonians were named to CRN’s 2024 Women of the Channel list. The Women of the Channel is an annual recognition of women from vendor, distributor and solution provider organizations whose vision and leadership have a beneficial influence on the technology industry. Cato’s honorees include: Dianne Bruno, Global Channel Marketing Director Juliette McDonough, Channel Account Manager Komal Shruti, Director, Channels - APAC CRN is acknowledging what we at Cato already hold in high regard; the contributions of these women and the teams they lead are integral in not only delivering value for channel partners, but in their efforts driving a necessary industry-wide shift. Amidst a chaotic era in IT security, organizations are struggling to manage complex security infrastructures due to a point solution culture that was set up to build individual products to stay ahead of the latest threats. SASE is the antidote to this chaos by consolidating networking and security into a unified cloud-native platform. Cato has been the category creator and leader of the SASE market since 2015 — before the term to describe the convergence of networking and security even existed — and our journey would not be the same without our channel leaders. They are instrumental in driving SASE’s growth in the channel and across the industry. They embody Cato’s partner-first ethos by equipping our channel partners with the technology they need to not only meet evolving market demands, but also stay ahead of the curve. They are, among the many, bringing order to the chaos of the IT security landscape. Please join us in congratulating the achievements of Cato's channel leaders and everyone honored on CRN’s 2024 Women of the Channel list!
