Welcome to the Women in Channel Europe content hub
Find all of our interviews and industry research all in one place
Welcome to the Channel Partner Insight Women in Channel Europe hub.
Following the launch of our Women in Channel campaign last month, Channel Partner Insight has created a dedicated content hub for all the latest news and views on inclusion and diversity in the European channel, and why it matters.
CPI's Women in Channel campaign will culminate in an awards ceremony in October.
In the meantime, the CPI editorial team welcomes execs, both men and women, to engage in this issue.
We are striving to magnify the efforts of channel leaders and companies who are being as innovative on this challenge as they are for the needs of their customers.
