2021 Channel Chiefs: The 50 Most Influential

Rick Whiting

In celebration of CRN’s 2021 Channel Chiefs, here are 50 leaders who drive the channel agenda and evangelize the importance of channel partnerships.

Red Hat

Mark Enzweiler

SVP, Global Partners, Alliances

IBM acquired Red Hat in 2019 and 2020 was the year of integration between the two companies—even as Red Hat maintains its neutrality.

Enzweiler, meanwhile, oversaw the debut of the Renewals Intelligence platform, part of Red Hat’s Partner Renewals Engagement Program (PREP) that provides distributors and resellers with data, tools and enablement to manage their own customer renewals.

Enzweiler also has presided over an increasingly skilled partner base. In 2020 the company had more than 12,000 new sales, technical and delivery partner accreditations—many around Red Hat’s OpenShift hybrid cloud platform that has been rapidly adopted by the company’s channel partners.
