20 People Channel Chiefs Look To For Inspiration

Inspiration Comes In Many Forms

The over 300 members of CRN's 2016 Channel Chiefs project have risen through the ranks to lead channel efforts at today's biggest and most innovative technology companies. Getting to this position of channel power takes a certain kind of drive and given the nearly 27,000 years of combined channel experience among this year's Chiefs, it's safe to say they've found quite a few sources of inspiration along the way.

As part of the 2016 Channel Chiefs, we asked the executives to share the people whom they look to for inspiration to fuel that drive.
