Intermedia, a one-stop shop for cloud IT services, today announced that Irina Shamkova, Senior Vice President of Product Management, has been named to The Channel Company’s prestigious 2015 CRN® Women of the Channel. The annual list honors outstanding female executives across vendor channel organizations, distributors, solution providers and other women prominently involved in the IT channel ecosystem for their successes and the far-reaching impact they are having on the technology industry going forward.
This year’s Women of the Channel were carefully reviewed and selected by the editors of CRN based on their accomplishments and the influence they wield over the technology channel.
Irina is a true Intermedia success story. She began her career with Intermedia as an entry-level technical support engineer in 2000. In the last 15 years, her talent and charisma have been recognized time and again as she rose through the ranks of Intermedia to the level of Senior Vice President of Product Management. Throughout her tenure at Intermedia, she has been instrumental in leading product development and innovation of the company’s entire product portfolio from hosted Microsoft Exchange to proprietary technologies such as HostPilot® Control Panel, SecuriSync® file sync and share and many more. Irina played a pivotal role in bringing Intermedia’s channel program to market, building out the product platform and creating a self-service portal for partners. She continues to support Intermedia’s channel-first approach by developing highly customized products and automation tools that can be private-labeled by partners.
“Irina has been instrumental in bringing channel-ready products to market with expert provisioning, convenient and powerful management tools and private label solutions that are backed by our Worry-Free Experience,” said Michael Gold, Chief Executive Officer at Intermedia. “We celebrate Irina’s accomplishments and congratulate her on this well-deserved recognition. We look forward to continued success under her leadership as we support our goal of becoming the number one choice for cloud IT services among partners.”
“These executives have made a lasting mark on the industry, expanding the breadth of influence in the technology channel,” said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. “We congratulate the Women of the Channel, and celebrate their innovative contributions and commitment to the IT channel community.”
The Women of the Channel will be featured in the June issue of CRN, and online at www.CRN.com.
