Philadelphia, PA, February 4, 2025 – Qlik®, a global leader in data integration, data quality, analytics, and artificial intelligence, today announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named David Zember, Senior Vice President, WW Channels and Alliances at Qlik, to the prestigious 2025 CRN® Channel Chiefs list. This annual list recognizes the top IT vendor and distribution executives who are driving strategy and ensuring success across partners and customers.
Today’s partners are facing increased competition from non-channel industry leaders who bypass traditional ecosystems. David and his team have continued to strengthen Qlik’s Partner and Alliances organization, establishing a framework that is built on planning, commerce, and partner support. In 2024, Qlik signed a Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with AWS, granting partners the resources needed to co-build, sell and co-market joint solutions focused on Move-to-Cloud, SAP Data Analysis and GenAI. By launching AI products to incorporate into customer solutions, Qlik has enabled partners to solve real-world business challenges with practical solutions, ensuring they deliver measurable results.
"Qlik’s partner-first strategy ensures that businesses don’t just adopt AI—they maximize its value,” said Casey George, Qlik Executive Vice President, Global Sales. “David’s leadership has been instrumental in equipping our partners with the tools and expertise to drive real-world impact, from cloud transformation to AI-powered decision-making. This recognition reflects our commitment to empowering partners with innovative, data-driven solutions that fuel long-term success.”
“This year’s honorees exemplify dedication, innovation, and leadership that supports solution provider success and fosters growth across the channel,” said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content, and Executive Editor, CRN, at The Channel Company. “Each of these exceptional leaders has made a lasting channel impact by championing partnerships and designing creative strategies that get results. They’ve set a high bar in the channel, and we’re thrilled to recognize their standout achievements.”
CRN’s 2025 Channel Chiefs list will be featured in the February 2025 print issue of CRN® Magazine and online beginning February 3rd at www.CRN.com/ChannelChiefs.
