SAN JOSE, Calif. – June 24, 2013 – Intacct, a leader in cloud financial management and accounting software, today announced that Stephanie Kleber, channel and sales enablement manager at Intacct, has been recognized by UBM Tech Channel’s CRN as one of the Top Women of the Channel.
CRN’s annual list recognizes nearly 300 female executives across vendor channel organizations, distributors, and solution providers for their accomplishments over the past year, and the far-reaching impact they are having on the technology industry going forward. This year’s Women of the Channel were chosen by the editors of CRN based on their achievements as executives and the amount of influence they wield over the technology channel. These women represent a changing trend in a traditionally male dominated industry.
Over the past year, Kleber played a key role as Intacct formalized its channel and direct hybrid program -- how direct sales representatives work with partners and defining the overall rules of engagement. In addition, Kleber worked to deliver a new Intacct Business Partner Guide & Enablement Road Map to assist new Intacct partners in the on-boarding process, as well as the Intacct Partner Recruitment Guide that highlights why solution providers should consider becoming an Intacct business partner.
“We honor and congratulate this list of influential women who are dedicated to supporting the mission of the channel,” said Robert Faletra, CEO of UBM Tech Channel. “For years, we have identified and celebrated the women who have made an indelible mark on the technology industry through unmatched innovation and razor focus on meeting the needs of the IT channel community.”
“Stephanie has been an important addition to the Intacct channels team, playing an instrumental role in helping to implement our strategic vision for the Intacct Partner Program,” said Taylor Macdonald, vice president of Channels at Intacct. “Her first year was highlighted by the work she has done building out our hybrid sales channel, with minimal channel conflict. We are very proud of Stephanie’s accomplishments, and her contributions to the Intacct programs that drive growth and success for our partners.”
Earlier this year, Taylor Macdonald was named to CRN’s list of Top Channel Chiefs and Intacct’s partner program was awarded a 5-Star rating. More than 300 leading CPA firms and resellers have now joined Intacct’s channel programs. With 22 of the Top 100 CPA firms, 21 of the Top 100 VARs in the industry, 20 “VAR Stars,” and five firms on Accounting Today’s list of Technology Pacesetters, Intacct boasts the strongest channel program of any cloud financial vendor.
