WALTHAM, Mass., Feb. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Infinidat, a leading provider of enterprise storage solutions, today announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Eric Herzog, CMO at Infinidat, to the prestigious 2025 CRN® Channel Chiefs list, which recognizes the IT vendor and distribution executives who are driving strategy and setting the channel agenda for their companies. This special distinction is the third time that Herzog has been recognized as a CRN Channel Chief during his extensive career as a senior executive for enterprise storage solutions through the channel.
“I’m honored to be named a CRN Channel Chief again and to have the opportunity to work closely with Infinidat’s partners to make a significant impact through the channel,” said Eric Herzog, CMO at Infinidat. “I love the strong commitment, relentless effort, and competitiveness of our channel partners. Being recognized on the prestigious CRN Channel Chiefs list for the third time reflects positively on our power collaboration to drive large-scale deployments of next-generation enterprise storage. It’s important to keep the proverbial ‘finger on the pulse’ of the channel, and I am happy to report that there are many, many new opportunities for partners to grow their businesses with Infinidat in 2025.”
Herzog has four decades of experience and proven success in the enterprise storage industry, managing all aspects of marketing, product management, sales, worldwide channels, and business development in both start-ups and Global Fortune 500 companies. Herzog was also named a CRN 2022 Channel Chief and a CRN 2015 Channel Chief. Prior to joining Infinidat in October 2021, he was CMO and VP of Global Storage Channels for IBM’s Storage Division. He was the executive sponsor for IBM Storage at Sirius Computer Solutions/CDW and Mainline Information Systems, as well as the executive sponsor for IBM Storage and EMC at Arrow.
