SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland, August 2, 2022 -
Acronis, the global leader
in cyber protection, announced today that CEO Patrick Pulvermueller
was recognized by CRN®, a brand of
The Channel Company, as
one of its 2022 Top 100 Executives. He was also cited as one of the
top 25 innovators on the annual list, which recognizes
forward-thinking and innovative technology leaders who have proven
their commitment and dedication to the channel through
solution-provider-focused strategies and a willingness to take bold
steps despite market unpredictability.
CRN's Top 100 Executives List shines a light on the executives
who are shaking up the status quo, supporting channel partners, and
placing big bets on where the market is headed next. CRN commends
these visionaries across four sub-categories that positively impact
the IT channel: the 25 Most Influential Executives, Top 25 Channel
Sales Leaders, Top 25 Innovators and Top 25 Disruptors.
"It is an honor to be named to CRN's Top 100 Executive list,"
said Acronis CEO Patrick Pulvermueller. "Innovation drives
everything we do at Acronis, and I'm incredibly proud of our team
of industry leaders who bring creativity and expertise to the
technology they develop. As Acronis continues its rapid growth
trajectory, we are committed to giving our service providers the
modern, integrated cyber protection they need to secure customer
data and mitigate security risks."
Cloud software and hosting industry veteran Patrick
Pulvermueller joined
Acronis as CEO in July 2021 after serving as GoDaddy's Partner
Business President. Since joining Acronis, the company continues to
disrupt the data protection and cybersecurity markets while
redefining how service providers leverage remote monitoring and
management (RMM) and professional services automation (PSA)
services. Last week, the company
raised $250M in Series E funding, driving their valuation to
$3.5 billion.
"Winning leaders embrace innovation while going all-in with
partners in their commitment to accelerating business growth and
digital transformation for their customers," said Blaine Raddon,
CEO of The Channel Company. "Their exceptional vision, know-how and
execution contributed significantly to the strength of their
companies, partners, customers, and the IT channel as a whole.
Congratulations to all included on the CRN 2022 Top 100 Executives
list for successfully bringing channel-focused innovation to the
market, enabling new growth opportunities, and producing one
channel success story after another."
Earlier this year, Acronis unveiled
enhanced features to the company's #CyberFit Partner Program, which
increased its emphasis on supporting partner development,
particularly for cloud-based services, and offering competitive
professional and financial assistance to partners who migrated to
Acronis. In February, Acronis Chief Channel Evangelist Amy Luby and
Channel Chief Alex Ruslyakov were recognized as members of CRN's prestigious
2022 Channel Chiefs list.
