SARASOTA, Fla., May 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Star2Star Communications, provider of the World’s Most Complete Full Spectrum Communications Solution, today announced that President and Chief Revenue Officer, Michelle Accardi, has been named to the 2018 Women of the Channel Power 100 List. CRN’s editorial team selects Women of the Channel honorees from over 700 applications and 100,000 companies. Honorees are evaluated based on their professional accomplishments, demonstrated expertise, and ongoing dedication to the channel. The Power 100 belong to an exclusive group drawn from this larger list: women leaders whose vision and influence are key drivers of their companies’ success and help move the entire IT channel forward.
As President and Chief Revenue Officer, Michelle's dedication stood out to the editorial team due to her core mission to inspire and maintain growth for Star2Star and its Partners.
