Executive honored for her innovative programs, strong leadership and commitment to channel growth

Appgate (OTC: APGT), the secure access company, today announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Tina Gravel, Senior Vice President of Global Channels and Alliances, to its 2022 list of Channel Chiefs. The prestigious CRN® Channel Chiefs list, released annually, identifies top IT channel vendor executives who continually demonstrate expertise, influence and innovation in channel leadership.

“We are enormously proud of Tina, whose leadership, talent and drive embody Appgate’s can-do attitude and determination to provide enterprises with unparalleled solutions and service that help them advance their Zero Trust security initiatives,” said Barry Field, CEO, Appgate.

With more than 29 years in IT, Tina has extensive expertise in cybersecurity, managed services and cloud technology that contributes directly to Appgate’s strategic partner enablement initiatives. Tina’s team is focused on developing tools and resources that help Appgate’s partners guide their customers to secure solutions that protect their most valued information assets.

Among her accomplishments in 2021, Tina:

• Expanded Appgate’s partner program to meet the unique needs of managed service providers and managed security service providers
• Launched Appgate’s Sentinel Program, a global partner program, and enhanced it to include additional rewards and benefits, including expanded market development funds and new training materials
• Ensured that partners can secure competitive pricing on Appgate products to protect them from the onslaught of cyberattacks that was exacerbated by the move to remote work
• Extended a public-service program originally developed in the early days of the pandemic and the sudden shift to work-from-home to provide a budget-friendly means for end customers to obtain Appgate products and services

Additionally, she more than doubled the size of her channel team, while expanding into additional markets. Tina is a five-time CRN Channel Chief (2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022) and has been named to the CRN Women of the Channel list six times (2013, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021).

“CRN’s 2022 Channel Chiefs recognition is given exclusively to the foremost channel executives who consistently design, promote and execute effective partner programs and strategies,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. “We’re thrilled to recognize the tireless work and unwavering commitment these honorees put into fostering outstanding business innovation and building strong partner programs to drive channel engagement and success.”

A panel of CRN editors selected the honorees for their channel dedication, industry stature and accomplishments as channel advocates. The 2022 Channel Chiefs are influential leaders who continue to shape the IT channel with innovative strategies, programs and partnerships.

CRN’s 2022 Channel Chiefs list will be featured in the February 2022 issue of CRN® Magazine and online at www.CRN.com/ChannelChiefs.
