Caress and Monaco have played critical roles in Code42’s ongoing channel momentum as the company continues to take IRM mainstream through its award-winning Code42® Incydr™ product.

Melissa Caress has been working in the channel for over 20 years. Her passion for channel marketing has helped her establish a strong network of partners within the channel, which have fueled the growth of Code42’s Accelerate Partner Program.

Sara Monaco has spent over ten years of her career in the channel with a sole focus on cybersecurity. Her experience as a sales rep working for a 100% channel company inspired her to switch positions to more closely build relationships with partners. As the northeast channel account manager, Monaco has increased engagement with both national and regional partners while also working closely with the sales and marketing teams to ensure success with the channel.
“We are proud to once again recognize the remarkable leaders on this year’s Women of the Channel list. Their influence, confidence, and diligence continue to accelerate channel success significantly,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. “Their accomplishments will inspire others, and we look forward to witnessing their future contributions to the channel.”
Code42 continues to earn channel industry recognition. The company was recently named to CRN’s annual Security 100 list and 2022 Partner Program Guide, and Code42’s vice president of channel sales, Faraz Siraj, was named to CRN’s 2022 Channel Chiefs list.
