ELLICOTT CITY, Md., Sept. 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Huntress, the managed security platform for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) and the managed service providers that support them, is thrilled to announce that CRN^®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Kellie Luth, Manager of Channel Account Management, as one of the IT channel’s 100 People You Don’t Know But Should for 2023. Every year, this list honors the people working tirelessly behind the scenes to craft and maintain the channel, sales and marketing programs and processes their company’s partners need to succeed.

The CRN editorial team compiles the list each year to bring well-deserved attention to the best and brightest channel contributors who work outside the spotlight. The selections are based on feedback from industry executives and leading solution providers.

Luth joined Huntress and the Channel Account Management team in October 2021 with a depth of technical knowledge and a laser focus on her team members and goal attainment. She brought over six years of experience within the managed services community.

“Kellie is an integral part of our team and deserves every bit of recognition as a leader in our channel program,” said Jordan Redd, VP of Partner and Customer Success at Huntress. “Through her commitment to Huntress and our channel partners, we come closer to our mission of protecting the small and mid-sized businesses that make up 99% of America’s businesses.”

“We are excited to recognize the truly talented group of individuals making smart and strategic decisions every day, behind the scenes,” says Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. “Thank you to the 100 People You Don’t Know But Should, for your indispensable contributions across the channel community.”

“It’s an honor to be recognized among so many other channel leaders that are making an impact with their partners,” Luth said. “Thank you to The Channel Company for including me, and thank you to all of our partners that make our work worthwhile.”

The 100 People You Don’t Know But Should list will be featured in the October issue of CRN Magazine and can be found online at www.crn.com/100people.
