CRN, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Alexandra Lloyd-Edwards, Director of Channel Sales, to its the Women of the Channel list for 2023.

Alexandra was chosen due to her dedicated work leading Trustwave’s Channel and Alliances strategy in EMEA for the past four years. Prior to Trustwave, Alexandra was the Security Solutions and Alliances Lead for Vodafone Global and the Global Endpoint Strategy Lead for HP Enterprise Security Services. Alexandra was awarded the HPE ESS EMEA Partner Alliance Manager of the Year in 2015 and Trustwave Channel Seller of the Year in 2022.

“I’m truly honored to be recognized alongside a group of such incredibly talented women. We have built the Trustwave channel services and product program with diversity and inclusion at its heart and a mission to delight our Channel partner community. None of this would be possible without the Trustwave Channel team who constantly strive for perfection, innovation and consistency,” Lloyd-Edwards said.

The CRN 2023 Women of the Channel honorees bring their creativity, strategic thinking, and leadership skills to bear on a variety of roles and responsibilities, but all are turning their unique talents toward driving success for their partners and customers. With this recognition, CRN honors these women for their unwavering dedication and commitment to furthering channel excellence.

“We are ecstatic to announce this year’s honorees and shine a light on these women for their significant achievements, knowing that what they’ve accomplished has paved the way for continued success within the IT channel,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. “The channel is stronger because of them, and we look forward to seeing what they do next.”

Every year, CRN recognizes women whose expertise and vision are leaving a noticeable and commendable mark on the technology industry.
