PHOENIX — Leading technology solutions provider Avnet announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Nicole Enright, president, Avnet Integrated, to its Women of the Channel list for 2022. This esteemed list honors the incredible accomplishments of female leaders from across the IT channel, including vendors, distributors, and solution providers - whose vision, expertise, and contributions make an impact on the industry every day.
By bringing innovative concepts, strategic business planning, and comprehensive channel initiatives to life, these extraordinary women support partners and customers with exceptional leadership. CRN celebrates these women, who are so deserving of recognition, for their constant dedication to channel excellence.
“Nicole’s expertise in the channel, built over two decades, has guided Avnet’s advanced systems integration business to six quarters of consecutive year on year growth through focus on selling fundamentals and an emphasis on value-added services,” Mario Orlandi, president, Avnet EMEA. “She has a proven track record of transforming organizations, integrating acquisitions, and creating high-performance cultures to deliver tangible results. Her passion for working with our customers and ensuring they receive the highest quality service from Avnet is evident, and we’re proud to see her getting the recognition she deserves by being named to this esteemed list.”
Having taken the helm of Avnet Integrated in April 2021, Enright launched the Direct Connect program, which enables OEMs to immediately scale solution delivery to their channel while realizing significant capital efficiencies. Under her leadership, this program has had a significant impact on Avnet’s OEM customers, enabling them to focus on growth by leaning in on rich IP development and investing in their selling motion while Avnet builds, financially executes, and deploys the solutions. Enright’s guidance has allowed the global program to expand to more customers and OEMs, thus expanding Avnet’s access to the channel partners.
“We are proud to once again recognize the remarkable leaders on this year’s Women of the Channel list. Their influence, confidence, and diligence continue to accelerate channel success significantly,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. “Their accomplishments will inspire others, and we look forward to witnessing their future contributions to the channel.”
