Intermec’s Scott Anderson, VP of Global Channels, Recognized as a "Channel Chief” by Everything Channel’s CRN

Intermec (NYSE:IN) today announced that Scott Anderson, Intermec Vice President of Global Channels, has been named a Channel Chief by the Everything Channel’s CRN. Channel Chiefs are recognized leaders in creating effective channel programs for solution providers and are chosen based on their ability to consistently defend, promote and execute effective channel partner programs and strategies.

This year’s Channel Chiefs were chosen based by Everything Channel editorial on criteria including policy and program innovations made during the past year, the amount of revenue their company generates through partners, their willingness to speak out publicly on behalf of the channel, and the number of years they have dedicated to channel activities.

Anderson, who has spent his entire 32-year career focused on channel sales efforts, was selected for his leadership behind the redesign and launch of Intermec’s PartnerNet Channel program in 2010, driving greater predictability, focus and investments into Intermec’s channel. Anderson also oversaw the build-out of a robust SalesForce.com infrastructure to improve Intermec’s Channel engagement and administrative flow.

"Being named a Channel Chief is one of the most prestigious honors in the IT industry. This year’s Channel Chiefs offer tremendous insight into the who’s who of the Channel,” said Kelley Damore, VP, Editorial Director, Everything Channel. "Top channel executives consistently ensure that the Channel’s voice is heard when strategic decisions are being made and continually nurture mutually profitable relationships. We applaud this year’s Channel Chiefs for their successful partner programs and strategies.”

Anderson joined Intermec in November 2009. Prior to Intermec, he spent 28 years at Hewlett-Packard, where he held leadership roles across several HP divisions, including most recently as Vice President of Hewlett-Packard’s Imaging and Printing Channels Channel Sales organization.

"It’s a great honor to be named a Channel Chief, and truly a testament to the amazing partner network Intermec is privileged to work with,” said Anderson. "We look forward to further expanding our channel programs in the months and years to come.”

The full Channel Chief list was published in the February 21, 2011 issue. For additional information on the CRN Channel Chief list, visit www.channelweb.com.
