Eaton’s Hervé Tardy Recognized as CRN’s Top Channel Strategist of 2011
Date: December 5, 2011
RALEIGH, N.C. …Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation today announced that Hervé Tardy, vice president, general manager, Distributed Power Quality Business Unit for Eaton, was honored with the number one spot on CRN’s Top 10 Channel Strategists of 2011 list. The recognition is part of the information technology (IT) channel publication’s annual list of Top 100 Executives.
CRN Editor Joseph Kovar described the top channel strategists as, “pulling the strings to make sure channel strategy is front and center for their companies, architecting the nimble go-to-market plans that translate into channel success.”
The list is based on nominations from solution providers and ranked executives based on channel influence, effectiveness and visibility, along with business and sales impact. A panel of editors from UBM Channel, the premier provider of IT channel-focused events, media, research, consulting, and sales and marketing services, made the final selections. Among the criteria were channel sales volume, channel investment and resources, channel advocacy and visibility, and performance in UBM Channel research projects (including the Annual Report Card and Channel Champions).
“It is an honor to be nominated by solution providers and to be recognized by CRN’s editorial staff,” said Tardy. “As electrical power continues to become more costly to find, refine and use, I believe power management will stand as one of the leading focus areas for IT over the next 25 years. With this in mind, Eaton has put forth tremendous effort in the channel, developing energy-efficient technologies and energy management tools that will increase the bottom line for our loyal resellers.”
Tardy is leading the charge at Eaton to integrate the company’s Intelligent Power® Software Suite with virtualized environments. Eaton’s software solution lead the way in the industry to integrate with VMware’s vCenter Server™, Citrix® XenCenter®, vSphere® 5, and Microsoft®’s SCVMM; thus offering value added resellers (VARs) a strong selling point when catering to clients who have embraced cloud environments.
Drawing on its global strength in power management to help customers control costs and reduce their energy requirements, Eaton is accelerating the introduction of new products and technologies. This commitment to the future allows resellers in Eaton’s PowerAdvantage® Partner Program to deliver efficient and effective uptime to their customers while working to create new revenue and margin opportunities for their businesses.
