The 20, leading MSP consortium, announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Ciera Cole, CXO, and Crystal Conkle, CMO, to the 2023 Women of the Channel Power 80 Solution Provider list— a subset of prominent executives selected from the CRN 2023 Women of the Channel list.
The CRN 2023 Women of the Channel honorees bring their creativity, strategic thinking, and leadership to bear, turning their unique talents toward driving success for their customers and technology partners. The annual Power 80 Solution Provider list honors the most influential women in leadership at some of the country’s most prominent solution providers, based on their remarkable expertise, channel advocacy and contributions to building solution provider businesses that thrive.
The women who populate the Power 80 Solution Provider list have gone above and beyond with their extraordinary commitment to the IT channel community, implementing strategies that have accelerated the success of their customers and technology partners—and the broader channel ecosystem as a result.

This is her fifth time appearing on the Women of the Channel list.
