The "Power 50" was chosen by the editors of the magazine based on their achievements as executives and the amount of influence they wield over the technology channel. The 50 women represent a changing trend in a traditionally all-male industry. This accolade follows Petty's success in leading FalconStor Software's channel sales efforts to consistent year-over-year growth since the inception of the company. FalconStor is a channel-only company and credits a significant part of its success to FalconStor channel partners.
"The 'Power 50' have made a profound impact on the technology marketplace," stated Robert C. DeMarzo, vice president and editorial director, Everything Channel. "It is with a great sense of pride and honor that we offer congratulations to Wendy Petty for her significant contributions to our industry."
"FalconStor and Wendy Petty have been championing the channel for years," said John Thome, CEO of Chi Corporation, a valued FalconStor channel partner. "Chi has prospered in our ongoing six-year relationship with FalconStor, due in part to their channel-friendly incentive programs. FalconStor is helping to maximize partner margins through their training, support and marketing programs."
FalconStor works in tandem with its partners through its solution provider program to deliver data protection solutions, programs and tools needed for partners to successfully market, sell and deploy solutions to customers. This enables partners to implement solutions quickly and provide immediate, demonstrated ROI, allowing them to deliver incomparable service to their customers - all of which yields mutual success for FalconStor, its channel partners and customers.
"It is an honor to be included in the VARBusiness ranking of the top women in business. I consider this recognition a testament to the outstanding performance of the FalconStor Software channel team and all of our channel partners worldwide," said Ms. Petty. "I look forward to continuing FalconStor Software's dedication of working closely with our channel partners for their success, as well as to bring world-class data protection solutions to market."
