We are excited to share that Quest's very own George Karabatsos has made the 2019 CRN Channel Chiefs listing! George, Director of Global Distribution and Channel Sales, was named one of CRN's most influential leaders. He is among 50 executives awarded for driving channel agenda and evangelizing the importance of channel partnerships.
"George has been instrumental over the last 12 months in the continued enhancement of the new Quest Partner Circle program, which was launched on November 1, 2016. Quest has grown public sector revenue growth substantially over the past year. Over the last 12 months, George has helped drive the initiative of continuing to update and add accreditation and tracks across all Quest business units and product families, simplifying access to these tracks and tying them to social media for maximum value add for the salesperson. George has also led the efforts in creating a two-tier distribution model in North America, forming strategic partnerships with Tech Data and Arrow, and converting Quest's European sales unit to a channel-first model. Quest continues to move towards a channel first model in both North America and Europe, with the number of distributor partners in EMEA being substantially reduced. This has helped increase both revenue and profitability for remaining distributors."
