Narine Galstian CMO SADA

Holly Garcia VP, Data Center Panduit

Julie Garcia Director, Americas Partner Marketing Zscaler Garcia developed and executed the first in- person Zscaler Partner Advisory Board at Zenith Live. Internally, she was instrumental in Zscaler gaining operational effi- ciencies that allow the teams to spend more time with partners.

Tina Garcia VP, Sales, Channel CloudCover

Galstian was key to chang- ing SADA’s go-to-market strategy to be more “solutions” focused with strategic/ISV partners included in solutions pil- lars and offerings. She has also re-evaluated the SaaS Alliance Program to improve the partner expe- rience, providing more opportunities to co-market.

Garcia reported her highest revenue in her nine years at the company by focus- ing on creating deeper partnerships and improv- ing relationships with key account decision-makers. By creating a stronger part- nership camaraderie, she enhanced CloudCover’s overall position as a chan- nel support provider.

Garcia championed a growth strategy focused on maturing Panduit’s IT distribution and VAR busi- ness. She advocated for incremental investment to on-board additional go-to-market resources to support channel enable- ment and designed a partner-led services strategy.

Gallup’s accomplish- ments are most evident in the team she has built. Customers and part- ners know Connection’s workforce aims to offer exceptional service, and attracting and retaining that talent in a challeng- ing business environment requires strategic vision.
