AUSTIN, TX - October 5, 2023 -
TPx, a leading nationwide managed services provider (MSP) delivering cybersecurity, managed networks and cloud communications, today announced Stacy Conrad, Senior Vice President of Channel Sales, is among the honorees on the third annual
Channel Futures DE&I 101 list. The list recognizes individuals from a wide spectrum of multicultural backgrounds who are driving diversity, equity and inclusion in the communications and technology channel through their words, actions, and leadership. “At TPx, we are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion as it fosters an environment where employees can thrive and discover new ways to help our customers and partners. We are honored that Stacy has been recognized on the Channel Futures DE&I 101 list,” said Rick Mace, TPx CEO. Stacy currently serves as Senior Vice President, Channel Sales at TPx and is responsible for managing Channel strategy and growth. She is an advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) and is a founding member and former President of the Alliance of Channel Women (ACW), an organization dedicated to empowering women in the indirect sales channel. She expanded ACW’s reach by launching the ACW’s local chapters initiative. Stacy was honored by CRN and recognized on the 2023 Channel Chief’s List and named to CRN’s Women of the Channel list for the past five consecutive years. The Channel Futures DE&I 101 list was created to spotlight the efforts of dedicated and determined individuals working to eliminate discrimination in the industry. Many of these individuals work behind the scenes and, too often, their efforts go unacknowledged. “DE&I work requires levels of dedication and determination that many people do not possess,” said Kelly Danziger, general manager, Informa Tech Channels. “But as anyone on this list can tell you, the work is as rewarding as it is hard. We are pleased to be able to recognize these individuals and, hopefully, amplify their efforts.” “DE&I is alive and well in the channel,” said Robert DeMarzo, vice president of content, Informa Tech Channels. “This year we received more nominations than ever before and learned of some remarkable achievements that should be celebrated.” Nominations for the DE&I 101 list were solicited on the
Channel Futures website and through social media. Between April 12 and July 14, individuals could nominate themselves or others for the list. Applications were open to managers, leaders and individual contributors. All submissions were reviewed by members of the Channel Futures editorial team with input from advisory board members.
