With this recognition, CRN honors these individuals for their unwavering dedication to inclusivity in the channel and the greater technology industry. Elena Shorb is an innovative channel leader with over eight years of channel sales experience. Her role as the leader of Mission Cloud's strategic partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a Premier Tier Partner has been instrumental in driving the company's rapid growth. Since the beginning of the AWS Partner Ecosystem, Elena has built a first of-its-kind channel team working in tandem with AWS to drive the best possible customer outcomes. Elena's efforts extend beyond the walls of Mission Cloud. She has collaborated with AWS and SUITUP to deliver volunteer career days to underrepresented students, providing them with valuable insights and opportunities in the technology industry. Additionally, Elena has hosted community events in partnership with organizations such as I Support the Girls, Central Texas Food Bank, and Services for the Underserved (Sus.org). "We are so excited to announce this year's honorees and shine a light on their passion and commitment to inclusivity across the channel. Because of their transparent leadership, our work environments are safer and more accepting places where everyone can feel comfortable showing up as the best version of themselves each day," said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. "The channel is a more caring and compassionate place because of them, and we look forward to seeing what great things they do next." "I, like many other women in the tech channel, have repeatedly been the one of the few women in the room throughout my career. As I've come to learn about why that is, and the cloud literacy skills gap, it has prompted me to take action," said Shorb. "It's an honor to be recognized as an Inclusive leader, and I'm grateful to work alongside an organization like AWS who shares in the mission to extend access and opportunity to other women and other underrepresented groups."
