LONDON, UK: Imperva Inc. (NYSE: IMPV), pioneering the third pillar of enterprise security with a new layer of protection designed specifically for physical and virtual data centers, today announced that Meredith Scheraldi, Director of Pathways Marketing, has been named to the 2014 CRN Women of the Channel. The annual list highlights the accomplishments of female executives within vendor, distribution, and solution provider organizations, and the impact they are having on the advancement of the IT channel industry as a whole. In addition, Meredith was recognized by the CRN editorial staff as one of the 16 Channel Up-And-Comers. This is a new list for 2014 giving special recognition to rising-star female executives at companies across the channel.
Last year, Scheraldi helped launch a series of global programs that supported Imperva’s channel-first strategy while helping grow partner sales. These programs included launching an integrated Corporate and Global Channel Marketing communications program that provides timely, targeted information to Imperva’s channel partners. She also refocused the company’s marketing programs to more quickly provide enablement, tools, marketing programs and other resources to the company’s global network of channel partners. These efforts helped Imperva add many partners worldwide and led to double-digit year-over-year growth for Imperva’s top partner organizations. These programs also helped Imperva’s partners to grow their business and expand their cybersecurity footprint with Imperva’s leading data center security solutions.
“These female executives have risen in the ranks of their organizations and are leaving their indelible mark on the technology channel. We celebrate their many contributions and the varied ways in which they help solution providers grow and thrive every day,” said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. “We congratulate the Women of the Channel, and look forward to their continued success.”
“We are very proud that CRN has chosen to acknowledge Meredith as a leader in the channel. She has played a significant role in facilitating the success of Imperva’s partners,” said Ted Plumis, Vice President of Worldwide Channel and Service Provider Sales at Imperva. “The programs that she has helped plan and lead have allowed us to deepen our relationships and better enable our channel partners. Customer interest in DDoS protection services and web application security, coupled with our acquisitions of Incapsula and Skyfence this year, have allowed our partners to become even more strategic to their customers’ success.”
