The annual Power 100 honorees were chosen by the CRN editorial team based on their contributions, expertise and dedication to supporting IT channel success. The Power 100 award recognizes a select group of incredible women who have gone above and beyond — inspiring their peers through their leadership and unwavering commitment to the success of their partners, customers and the entire IT channel.
Valtin focused and aligned her team to both KnowBe4’s channel goals and her North America strategic vision amid the constant change and challenge of the pandemic. She made it a priority to increase communication and keep her team moving as fast as they could in the right direction.
“I am grateful to be selected for the Power 100 Award for the 2021 Women of the Channel by CRN,” said Valtin. “Last year was undoubtedly challenging, but by making efficient and effective communication a priority, our team was able to excel.
