Channel Leaders Asia 2025 announced!

Unveiling the channel leaders in CRN Asia’s first ever Channel Leaders Asia 2025.

CRN Asia’s Channel Leaders List APAC 2025 is finally unveiled. The inaugural list for the Asia Pacific region celebrates the individuals who have been influential in shaping the region’s channel landscape.

From India to Japan to Southeast Asia, the unranked list features executives covering various markets in Asia Pacific. Given APAC’s diversity, each market comes with its own unique challenges which channel leaders are hoping to solve in the most efficient manner.

Compiled by CRN Asia, the Channel Leaders Asia list recognizes the vendor and distribution executives who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, strategic vision, and commitment to the channel over the past year.

Be it cloud services, cybersecurity, data management or AI, some of the executives featured are from the biggest names in the industry. The inaugural list includes executives from AWS, Dell Technologies, Snowflake, Pure Storage, Palo Alto Networks, Veeam and many more.

From established heavyweights to disruptive challengers, these leaders have made a significant impact on their partners and the wider ecosystem. The list also features a few fresh faces to the industry, who are hoping to make an impact on the channel ecosystem.

Apart from sharing their channel goals and aims for 2025, the list also offers a snapshot of the individuals shaping the future of the partner ecosystem. Whether by expanding partner programs, fostering innovation, or leading through challenging market conditions, the leaders featured have made their mark over the past 12 months.

Unlike ranked lists, Channel Leaders Asia 2025 is not a competition but a recognition of impact.

While some have spent years building and refining channel strategies, others are spearheading bold new approaches that are redefining vendor-partner relationships. These executives have helped partners navigate everything from supply chain disruptions to AI-driven transformation, ensuring continued growth and resilience across the sector.
