“I am honored to be named among CRN’s 2026 EMEA Channel Leaders,” said McCurtin. “This recognition reflects the commitment of our entire partner community and the work we do together to deliver cyber protection. At Acronis, we succeed only when our partners succeed, and I look forward to continuing to build on that collaboration across the region.”
The annual CRN Channel Leaders EMEA list spotlights the most influential leaders across the IT channel, celebrating those who champion collaboration, drive innovation, and empower their partners and customers to achieve shared success.
"As my team and I reviewed this year’s Channel Leaders EMEA entries, one thing came through loud and clear: a deep, long‑standing respect for the channel community. We want to thank these Channel Leaders for being so open about both their strategies, and what drives them as people. Across EMEA’s diverse markets and many years of change, we're proud to recognise their ongoing commitment and the role they continue to play in strengthening the channel,” said Nima Sherpa Green, EMEA Editorial Director, CRN, The Channel Company.
