CRN unveils its Channel Leaders EMEA 2026
CRN has officially unveiled its 2026 EMEA Channel Leaders list, recognising the vendor and distribution executives who continue to play a defining role in shaping the region’s channel ecosystem
Congratulations to everyone who has been featured in this year’s CRN its Channel Leaders EMEA 2026 list!
Spanning EMEA’s diverse and fast-moving markets, the 2026 cohort reflects a community of leaders navigating ongoing economic pressure, rapid technological change and evolving partner expectations – while keeping the channel at the heart of their strategies.
A huge thank you to each leader who has shared so much of their personal stories, to give partners an insight into what makes them tick.
Unlike a ranked list, Channel Leaders EMEA is designed to spotlight impact rather than competition.
Those featured this year have demonstrated sustained commitment to partners through investment in programmes, enablement and relationships.
They have also articulated a clear vision for how they think the channel can grow and adapt in the years ahead.
As my team and I reviewed this year’s Channel Leaders entries, one thing came through loud and clear: a clear respect for the channel.
We want to thank each leader for being so open about their forward-looking strategies.
We're proud to recognise their ongoing commitment and the role they continue to play in strengthening the channel.
Collectively, this year’s leaders illustrate how collaboration, consistency and clarity of purpose remain critical to channel success.
CRN’s Channel Leaders EMEA list is part of The Channel Company’s global portfolio of awards and recognition programmes, celebrating the individuals and organisations driving progress across the IT channel worldwide.
