System builders, integrators, VARs, and resellers appreciate a solid partnership, deep support and a real relationship with their technology suppliers. So it means a lot to us here at Seagate when those channel partners get together and choose one of our channel managers to be honored as one of the best.
At last month’s CRN Channel Champion 2015 awards ceremony, held by ICT channel magazine CRN, Seagate’s own Sven Dunker, Manager of Channel Sales for Europe, Middle East and Africa, was honored to receive the Channel Champion 2015 award in the category “Components & Equipment.”
CRN editor Stefan Adelmann personally shook Sven’s hand, saying, “We congratulate Sven Dunker for being named Channel Champion of the year 2015 by CRN’s readers. The award shows that Mr. Dunker is not only an ambassador of the brand, but also collaborates closely and fairly with the German retail landscape. The sales partners of Seagate appreciate this and voted him among the winners in the ‘Components & Equipment’ category.”
Sven says the honor is especially meaningful because it’s a readers’ choice award. 3,000 resellers voted in 10 different categories to name a total of 30 “Channel Champions.“
CRN has been exclusively dedicated to informing and empowering the IT channel community for three decades. Its news coverage and other essential content often serve a critical role in many solution providers’ strategic and tactical approaches to serving their customers.
This year’s Channel Champion awards were presented CRN’s editorial staff at the CRN Summit in Garmisch-Patenkirchen on November 12 and 13.

Who is John Paulsen? A creator, family man and former small-business leader myself, I feel your pain (and joy) and hope you’ll enjoy the blog. I launched and ran a well-regarded production company in San Francisco with a team of 9 brilliant, hard working people. I learned to manage a wide array of tasks a small business must handle — business strategy, facilities design, HR, payroll, taxes, marketing, all the way down to choosing telecom equipment and spec’ing a server system to help my team collaborate in real-time on dense media projects from multiple production rooms. I’ve partnered with and learned from dozens of small business owners.
