FOSTER CITY, Calif., Feb. 8, 2021 Exabeam, the security analytics and automation company, today announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Ted Plumis, vice president of channels, to its 2021 list of Channel Chiefs, marking the tenth consecutive year he has appeared on the list. The prestigious CRN® Channel Chiefs list, released annually, recognizes leading IT channel vendor executives who continually demonstrate outstanding leadership, influence, innovation, and growth. 

Plumis has more than 20 years of experience in channel sales and management programs in the information security industry. He is industry renowned for his ability to build and execute channel and partner go-to-market plans for early- to mid-stage security companies, especially as they progress toward and through the IPO process.

During the past 12 months,Ted spearheaded the expansion of Exabeam’s partner community to include companies at further reaches of the market. For SMB, efforts focused on signing partnerships with VARs and MSSPs with capabilities for selling SaaS offerings into the market. For F500 businesses, Ted led the signing of official partnerships and expanded the team to better support system integrators (SIs). This resulted in SIs building substantial service practices around Exabeam technology.

“It is my honor to again be recognized as a CRN Channel Chief,” said Plumis. “I remain inspired by our partner community, for its contribution to Exabeam’s growth and success. As we move through 2021, my team is committed to enhancing our partner community with exceptional programs and innovative technologies that fulfill our shared mission to help customers detect and defend against the most sophisticated cyberthreats. This award is further validation that the ecosystem we have built around the Exabeam Security Management Platform delivers incredible value for a broad range of security objectives and IT budgets, and I look forward to meeting those needs for our partners and customers.”

The 2021 Channel Chiefs are prominent leaders who have influenced the IT channel with cutting-edge strategies, programs and partnerships. All honorees are selected by CRN’s editorial staff based on their dedication, industry prestige, and exceptional accomplishments as channel advocates.

“CRN’s 2021 Channel Chiefs list includes the industry’s biggest channel evangelists, a group of individuals who work tirelessly on behalf of their partners and drive growth through the development of strong partner programs and innovative business strategies that help bring business-critical solutions to market,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. “The Channel Company is proud to recognize these channel influencers and looks forward to following their continued success.”
