At AWS, we believe the future of tech should include people of every color, gender, belief, origin, and community. This year, CRN honored nearly 700 women whose channel expertise and vision are deserving of recognition. Nine women from AWS made the CRN’s Women of the Channel list for 2019, and we are proud of these Amazonians for their excellence in supporting customers, partners, and our global cloud community.

Each year, we honor APN Partners who are leaders in the channel and play key roles in helping customers drive innovation and build solutions on AWS. Announced during our annual AWS Partner Summits, APN Partner Awards recognize a wide range of born-in-the-cloud and traditional APN Consulting and Technology Partners whose business models have embraced specialization and collaboration.
