OKI Data Americas’ Jackie Paralis Recognized by CRN as One of the Top Women of the Channel
Mount Laurel, NJ, June 17, 2013 – OKI Data Americas announces that Jackie Paralis, Senior Manager of Managed Print Services Marketing and Product Development, has been recognized by UBM Tech Channel’s CRN as one of the top Women of the Channel for 2013. The annual list recognizes nearly 300 female executives across vendor channel organizations, distributors and solution providers for their accomplishments over the past year, and the far-reaching impact they are having on the technology industry going forward. This year’s Women of the Channel were chosen by the editors of CRN based on their achievements as executives and the amount of influence they wield over the technology channel. These women represent a changing trend in a traditionally male dominated industry.
For 27 years, Paralis has demonstrated strong leadership, and has played a key role in executing strategies that successfully address the needs of OKI’s partners – promoting the changes necessary to drive channel growth and profitability. Paralis helps drive OKI Data Americas' channel-centric business model by developing and maintaining strong relationships with channel partners, and pioneering the adoption of service-based business models within the industry, including managed print. Her efforts reinforce OKI Data’s commitment to the channel and the company’s role in the channel’s overall success.
“We honor and congratulate this list of influential women who are dedicated to supporting the mission of the channel,” said Robert Faletra, CEO, UBM Tech Channel. “For years, we have identified and celebrated the women who have made an indelible mark on the technology industry through unmatched innovation and razor focus on meeting the needs of the IT channel community.”
“Jackie’s contributions to the channel have been both numerous and influential. With nearly three decades of service to the channel, she has been part of its evolution,” said Carl Taylor, Director of North America Marketing at OKI Data Americas. “OKI Data is delighted that Jackie is being recognized by CRN as one of the top Women of the Channel, and agree that it is an honor well-deserved.”
A special feature of the Women of the Channel is in the June issue of CRN magazine and expanded coverage of The 100 Most Powerful Women of the Channel” will be featured online at www.crn.com.
