At Mailprotector, we pursue excellence because it’s in our DNA, and our leaders don’t just aim high; they live out their passion with purpose. This year, the channel took notice.
We’re thrilled to celebrate Amy Carr, Christine Gassman, and Kim Joyce’s inclusion in the CRN 2025 Women of the Channel list. This recognition highlights influential women driving success across the IT channel, and it’s an honor to have three of our own recognized among them.
Recognizing Leadership, Impact, and Channel Excellence
The CRN Women of the Channel list identifies women who are leaders not just within their companies but across the entire MSP channel ecosystem. These women shape strategy, fuel growth, deepen our relationships with partners, and inspire both innovation and the next generation of channel talent.
So, what makes this achievement particularly meaningful for us?
It’s not just about representation—it’s about impact. It’s about building a company where women in tech are not only seen and heard but also celebrated and empowered to lead.
Let’s take a moment to spotlight each of these incredible women and the contributions that earned them their place among the best in the industry.
