PHOENIX, AZ – Channel Partners Magazine, which focuses on the communications industry’s indirect sales channel, is pleased to announce that Ken Bisnoff, senior vice president of strategic opportunities for TelePacific Communications, has been selected by readers as a finalist for Channel Executive of the Year.
The 10 finalists will be honored during an awards ceremony on March 27, at the Spring 2012 Channel Partners Conference & Expo in Las Vegas. The finalists and winner also will be featured in the May/June issue of Channel Partners magazine.
“Once again, Channel Partners readers have chosen a standout lineup of Channel Executive of the Year finalists,” said Khali Henderson, editor-in-chief of Channel Partners magazine, a publication of VIRGO Publishing. “Each one of these leaders is enthusiastic about and instrumental in partners’ success. We congratulate all of them.”
Bisnoff has worked in the indirect channel for 17 years and has been with TelePacific in his current role for 14. He said the competitive service provider made considerable investments in 2011 to ensure that agents have the resources to stay competitive as the telecom world changes. The improvements included the purchase of two data centers to support cloud services and the launch of hosted PBX and national MPLS managed services. “We responded to our agents’ No. 1 complaint about TelePacific, which asked why we were not available in more regions,” Bisnoff said. “By acquiring Tel West Network Services and expanding our reach into Texas, we added coverage, now including 20 percent to the national business community.”
To determine the Channel Executive of the Year, Channel Partners solicited nominations from channel partners. To be eligible, a nominee must have been the top person in the company’s channel operations — at the executive level of vice president or higher — at a communications vendor (network operator/service provider/manufacturer). Qualified channel partners then cast their ballots for Channel Executive of the Year based on nominees’ leadership, longevity, innovation and contribution to the indirect channel.
