“At TIBCO, we recognize the pivotal role female leadership plays in our own success as a company and in paving the way for a diverse, inclusive world,” said Tony Beller, senior vice president of worldwide partner ecosystems and OEM sales, TIBCO. “The recognition of Stuti and Natascha as leaders and influencers in the channel is an exceptionally proud moment for us. This dynamic team has had a lasting and positive impact on our channel through the introduction of new programs and tools that help our partners accelerate their business success. Their efforts play a central role in reshaping our channel strategy and today have a direct impact on our overall success.”

Stuti Sureka is the director of cloud and technology alliances at TIBCO, leading partnerships with strategic cloud players such as AWS, Microsoft, Google, and the TIBCO ISV ecosystem. Over the last year, Sureka re-envisioned the organization’s cloud partnership strategy and execution plan, resulting in triple-digit growth for the business. She also established a programmatic engagement model for ISV’s, delivering the same benefits available to the TIBCO partner ecosystem.

As the director of global channel and partner marketing at TIBCO, Natascha Lee has helped the business achieve double-digit revenue growth in marketing-influenced bookings from its partner ecosystem in the past year. Lee and her team spearheaded this result by creating innovative tiered partner marketing programs and toolkits to drive pipeline and demand. This in turn dovetailed with TIBCO’s recently reimagined partner program.

“TIBCO understands that people craft our products, and the brilliant minds behind them can have a lasting effect on the lives of communities outside of TIBCO,” said Michele Haddad, chief people officer, TIBCO. “Stuti and Natascha are two of these incredible people. They don’t just weigh in on what their job requires; they are dedicated to their teams, TIBCO, and beyond to make a positive impact every day.”

The Women of the Channel annual list recognizes the unique strengths, vision, and achievements of female leaders in the IT channel. The 2021 Women of the Channel list acknowledges women from all over the IT channel, including vendors, distributors, and solution providers.

According to The Channel Company, the women honored on this year’s list pushed forward with comprehensive business plans, marketing initiatives, and other innovative ideas to support their partners and customers, helping them through the uncertainty brought on by the global COVID-19 pandemic. CRN celebrates these exceptional women for their leadership, dedication, and channel advocacy.
