Entries open for CRN Asia Channel Leaders list 2026
Following the success of the Channel Leaders APAC list 2025, the Channel Company has now opened entries for the 2026 list.
The CRN Asia Channel Leaders list 2026 is now open for nominations. The Channel Leaders Asia list shines a spotlight on the most influential, accomplished, and high-profile vendor channel executives across the Asian region.
Given the nature of the industry, some of the leaders featured in the 2025 list may have moved on to other roles and companies. As such, the 2026 list will feature the newest leaders as well as their plans for the channel for the year.
Following the success of the Channel Leaders APAC list 2025, the Channel Company has now opened entries for the 2026 list. This year, there will be two lists from the Asia Pacific region.
The Channel Leaders Asia 2026 list will focus specifically on the Asian region, with channel leaders that oversee India, North Asia and other sub regions within Asia also featured in the 2026 list.
There will also be another list that features channel leaders of the ANZ region. The inaugural CRN Australia 2026 Channel Chiefs is also now open for leading vendor executives.
While each list will feature leaders who focus specifically on Asia and the ANZ region, channel leaders that oversee the entire APAC region will also be featured on the lists.
Regarded as the go to guide for Channel leaders, the lists features the individuals shaping strategy, driving partner success, and making a tangible impact on their businesses and the wider IT channel.
Handpicked by CRN Asia, this unranked list recognizes leaders who have demonstrated outstanding vision, execution, and influence—whether by spearheading innovative partner programmes, building strong solution provider relationships or championing new growth opportunities.
Nominations for both lists are now open and the deadline for submitting entries will be January 30th, 2026.
