“Each year we look forward to announcing our B2B Channel Performance Awards as it is an opportunity to celebrate success in our ever-evolving industry,” said Kate Roe-Semyon, president of the B2B technology practice at NPD. “This year’s award focus on categories that helped to fuel channel growth over the past year as companies worked through new workforce dynamics, with employees working remote, as well as transitions, with others returning to the office after an extended period away. Our winners are helping business of all sizes navigate today’s landscape and for that they deserve this recognition. Congratulations to all of our 2021 winners and cheers to your continued success!”
