Rick Whiting
In celebration of CRN’s 2022 Channel Chiefs, here are 50 leaders who drive the channel agenda and evangelize the importance of channel partnerships within the IT industry.
Proofpoint
Joe Sykora
SVP, Worldwide Channels, Partner Sales
Sykora, who joined Proofpoint in December 2020, said the past year was “pivotal” for the Proofpoint channel as he oversaw the rollout of a channel strategy to support all partner routes to market and make it easier for partners to do business with the company.
As part of the strategy, the company introduced product specializations around the Security Awareness and Training platform and Information Protection platform, aiding partners who build practices around those offerings. Proofpoint’s product access program was revamped, allowing partners to reach the company’s entire solution set. And deal registration and incumbency programs were modernized to protect partners with initial and future sales.
