Scott Henderson, Vice President of Sales and Channels, Americas, Recognized as 2019 CRN® Channel Chief

Award Recognizes the Leadership, Continued Growth and Success of HYCU’s Resell and Partner Sales Initiatives

BOSTON,  February 14, 2019 – HYCU, Inc., a pioneering enterprise software company specializing in data backup, recovery and monitoring for next-generation Enterprise Clouds, announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Scott Henderson, Vice President of Sales and Channels, Americas, to its prestigious list of 2019 Channel Chiefs. The top IT channel leaders included on this list continually strive to drive growth and revenue in their organization through their channel partners.

Each of the 2019 Channel Chiefs has demonstrated exceptional leadership, vision, and commitment to their channel partner programs. Channel Chief honorees are selected by CRN’s editorial staff as a result of their professional achievements, standing in the industry, dedication to the channel partner community, and strategies for driving future growth and innovation.

Scott Henderson has been instrumental in driving HYCU’s sales strategy and initiatives over the past year. He worked with the team to relaunch HYCU’s Global Partner Program, that was the single most important initiative HYCU undertook in 2018. By revamping the program, relaunching the Partner Portal, accelerating training and educational efforts and increasing HYCU’s reach to its new partners, the new program has been instrumental in helping HYCUs achieve its overall growth goals in 2018. This also led to new relationships with companies like Lenovo where HYCU launched a new global reseller agreement in December 2018. Scott’s work will focus on continuing to enhance the HYCU Partner Program to make sure the team is working as tightly with our reseller partners as possible.

“The individuals on CRN’s 2019 Channel Chiefs list deserve special recognition for their contribution and support in the development of robue HYCUst partner programs, innovative business strategies, and significant influence to the overall health of the IT channel,” said Bob Skelley, CEO of The Channel Company. “We applaud each Channel Chief’s remarkable record of accomplishments and look forward to following their continued success.”

“We are 100 percent committed to the channel and our resell partners. This illustrious award is recognition of both Scott’s efforts and the whole team in raising interest and driving it through our go-to-market opportunities,” said Simon Taylor, CEO, HYCU, Inc. “In particular, the steady growth and acceptance of Nutanix has helped us enormously. We will continue to put more effort into our new Global Partner Program and build on our work to closely align with the Nutanix reseller and channel partner communities. And, the success we have built with Nutanix we fully expect to replicate with the Google partner community and Scott will be a driving force behind that effort.”
