Recognized as a distinguished list of elite Women of the Channel leaders, this year’s CRN Power 100 honorees were once again 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.
Cornmesser, who joined CyCognito earlier this year, is responsible for the technology innovator’s global, channel-led sales strategy and execution. With a new partner program in play, CyCognito works closely with forward-thinking, security-focused channel partners, global systems integrators, and managed security services providers (MSSPs) to meet the market’s growing demand for its intelligent cyber-combating, threat-seeking solutions.
“CRN’s 2021 Women of the Channel list acknowledges accomplished, influential women whose dedication, hard work, and leadership accelerate channel growth,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. “We are proud to honor them for their many accomplishments and look forward to their continued contributions to the IT channel.”

At CyCognito, we’re in the early phases of our own channel journey and I’m excited for what’s to come in 2021 and beyond.”
