Voting in CRN's 10th annual Channel Madness Tournament of Chiefs kicks off March 14, pitting some of the channel’s most influential executives against each other in head-to-head battles where CRN readers vote to determine the victors.

The Field of 32 has been set, and readers have a chance to get into the action now by filling out and submitting their bracket predictions before voting begins. The winner will receive a ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 laptop, compliments of Lenovo (see contest rules).

Lots of fan favorites are returning for this year’s contest. Last year’s champion, Scott Mann of Scale Computing, will be back to see if he can three-peat and make it a dynasty, returning alongside 2023 semifinalists Christian Goffi of Nutanix and Tom Evans of Palo Alto Networks.

The field also includes former Channel Madness Champion Ken McCray, who won it all in 2018 when we was with McAfee but now represents Fortinet.

There are also several tournament newcomers, including Cynthia Loyd of Broadcom, Eric Torres of ScalePad and Michelle Ragusa-McBain of SonicWall.
