In his role, Fazlulla manages Vonage's channel marketing efforts as well as go-to-market strategies with the Company's strategic and technology partners. In 2017, he was entrusted with helping set the strategy for and lead the marketing execution of a redesigned Vonage Channel Partner ecosystem. Since then, Fazlulla has played a leading role in the creation of a comprehensive channel strategy, as well as a marketing and promotional framework that continues to drive the growth of Vonage's channel program - a widely acclaimed program that has won multiple industry awards and recognition. A firm believer in the role of marketing as a competitive differentiator for Vonage's channel partners, he is committed to helping them build and deploy segmented marketing campaigns and assets at scale. "I am truly honored to receive this award. At Vonage, we have worked tirelessly in our pursuit to build a channel program where improving partner experience is the driving force of all sales, product, operational and marketing efforts," said Fazlulla. "It has been an incredibly gratifying experience to be a part of this amazing Vonage team and to work together to deliver value to our partners and customers. We have a world-class channel ecosystem that I am extremely proud of - there's never been a better time to partner with Vonage." "The last decade has seen profound changes in the way the world — and by extension, the channel — does business," said Kelly Danziger, general manager and vice president of channel at Informa Tech. "The last three years have presented unprecedented challenges, and the channel has been instrumental in keeping companies and their employees connected, collaborating and providing top-notch service to their customers. "Much of the credit for that goes to leaders like the ones we are honoring in the Circle of Excellence. Their vision, strategy and inspiration were key in helping the channel navigate those challenges and emerge even stronger.
