today announced that three of its channel leaders have been recognized
by UBM

as top Women of the Channel. F5’s Mary Beach, Channel Sales Program
Manager; Lisa Citron, Director of Channel Sales; and Cindy Tregoning,
Worldwide Channel Programs and Marketing Manager, were named to CRN’s
top Women of the Channel list. Tregoning
was also named to CRN’s Power 100, a list of the most powerful Women
of the Channel in 2013.
The annual list, chosen by the editors of CRN, recognizes female
executives across vendor channel organizations, distributors, and
solution providers for their accomplishments over the past year, and the
far-reaching impact they have had on the technology industry.
“We honor and congratulate this list of influential women who are
dedicated to supporting the mission of the channel,” said Robert
Faletra, CEO, 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.”
Beach, Citron, and Tregoning are part of F5’s global channel team
focused on driving growth and delivering value to F5’s partners. Under
their leadership, F5® has achieved double-digit sales growth
in the North American strategic partner channel and expanded several
global programs to increase partner enablement and grow business. In the
past year, F5’s channel organization extended its UNITY™
partner program to Latin America, and expanded the exclusive technical
and sales training series, Tech and SalesXchange, from EMEA to all
theaters. In addition, the women were all actively involved in planning
and executing F5’s Agility partner summits, cultivating relationships
and driving growth in all global theaters.
“Cindy, Mary, and Lisa have each had an enduring impact on advancing our
team’s efforts to provide ongoing value and opportunity to our partner
community,” said Jim Ritchings, SVP of Worldwide Channels and Alliances,
F5. “We celebrate their accomplishments and this well-deserved
