BREA, CA (June 7, 2016) – ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of visual solution products, announces that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Colleen Browne, director of sales, and Heather Hulse, director of sales/national accounts, to its prestigious 2016 Women of the Channel list. The women executives who comprise this annual list span the IT channel, representing vendors, distributors, solution providers and other organizations that figure prominently in the channel ecosystem. Each is recognized for her outstanding leadership, vision, and unique role in driving channel growth and innovation.



CRN editors select the Women of the Channel honorees on the basis of their professional accomplishments, demonstrated expertise and ongoing dedication to the IT channel.

Colleen Browne continues to develop relationships and grow ViewSonic’s reseller base. As a multiple CRN Women of the Channel list veteran, Colleen’s steadfastness and determination is only a part of what she brings to ViewSonic and the IT channel. She maintains an outside sales team that is focused on servicing the channel, and offering reseller partners innovative solutions from ViewSonic that help grow their business. By spending time in front of partners and their teams, Colleen can further understand their businesses and practices, and create solutions that will expand growth.

This past year, Heather oversaw the development of direct corporate, aggregator and business accounts, and was also responsible for restructuring and consolidating the top national accounts to better meet partner demands. She expanded key vertical market solutions for education- and business-focused resellers and VARs by growing ViewSonic’s portfolio for interactive large format and commercial displays.

“These executives have made a lasting mark on our industry—growing and elevating partner programs, leading transitions to new business models and introducing cutting-edge go-to-market strategies—among other remarkable achievements,” said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. “We congratulate all the 2016 Women of the Channel and celebrate their singular contributions to the advancement of the channel ecosystem.”
