FRAMINGHAM, MA--(Marketwire - August 25, 2008) - Towerwall Inc. (formerly Conqwest), a
leading provider of advanced information security services, today announced
that its founder and CEO Michelle Drolet has been recognized by Everything
Channel's VARBusiness magazine as one of the top 50 women in the technology
integration business. The "Power 50" was chosen by the editors of the
magazine based on their achievements as executives and the amount of
influence they wield over the technology channel. The 50 women represent a
changing trend in a traditionally all male industry.
Michelle Drolet founded her IT services business in 1993 with her husband
who is today the firm's Chief Technology Officer. During this 15-year
period Drolet put her company through several organizational changes
including selling her company and then reacquiring it one year later. Her
company is currently experiencing about a 20 percent annual growth rate.
"Change is inevitable, but what has persisted through the years is
Michelle's steadfast adherence to 'the Four E's' -- the guiding principle
that drives her IT security business," said Rosemary Macero, ESQ and Board
of Directors member. "Just ask one of her customers, which include BOSE,
Smith & Wesson, Perkin Elmer and Bahamas Telecom, what the 'Four E's' stand
for and they will tell you: evaluate, establish, educate, and enforce. Her
focus has always been on making her clients more secure with their
computers and Internet usage."
"The 'Power 50' have made a profound impact on the technology marketplace,"
stated Robert C. DeMarzo, vice president and editorial director, Everything
Channel. "It is with a great sense of pride and honor that we offer
congratulations to Michelle Drolet for her significant contributions to our
industry."
"I am thrilled to have received this rare distinction and to be associated
with this dynamic group of top channel executives," said Drolet. "We are
happy to see women executives receive recognition for all their hard work
and dedication to their own businesses and to the reseller channel."
