Every year, CRN highlights women from vendor, distributor, and
solution provider organizations whose vision and leadership have a
beneficial influence on the technology industry. The CRN 2024 Women
of the Channel honorees are creative, strategic leaders who show
ongoing commitment to using their skills to innovate and drive
success for their partners and customers.
With this recognition, CRN honors these women leaders for their
unwavering dedication and commitment to furthering channel
excellence.
As a cybersecurity and sales veteran with over 15 years of
experience driving high-growth sales organizations, Appleyard
brings a wealth of knowledge to her role along with a passionate
advocacy for diversity across sales and leadership teams. At
LastPass, Amy drives key priorities across revenue-related
functions, oversees the overall customer journey, and supports
global sales performance. She has played a key role in the launch
of LastPass’ channel program, having fostered the program, making
key hires, overseeing the roll out of a new partner portal and
program, and evangelized selling through partners internally. As a
result, LastPass’ channel business grew triple digits in 2023, and
is well-positioned for continued growth going forward.
Before joining LastPass, Appleyard held key roles in several
cybersecurity companies, including most recently serving as Senior
Vice President of Global Sales for Malwarebytes and Vice President
of Sales for the Commercial division of VMware Carbon Black.
“It is a great privilege to honor the remarkable achievements of
these women leaders in the IT channel,” said Jennifer Follett, VP,
U.S. Content and Executive Editor, CRN at The Channel Company.
“Each woman on the list has demonstrated a deep commitment to
innovation and leadership that advances their organizations and
drives transformation and success across the IT channel.”
“I am honored to be included in the company of such a dynamic
group of channel leaders. Delivering cybersecurity solutions
requires value-added partnerships that provide the expertise,
options and innovation customers need to address their unique
businesses, functions and cyber risk profiles,” said Appleyard.
“LastPass continues to invest in its people, technology and
partnerships so that we can better address our current and future
customers’ unique and changing needs.”
CRN's 2024 Women of the Channel also recognizes LastPass’ Vice
President of Global Channels and Alliances, Jessica Couto, for her
accomplishments as Vice President of North American channels at her
prior company, Imperva. Couto joined the LastPass team in January
2024, bringing more than two decades of channel sales leadership to
a LastPass organization committed to building a robust, growing
channel partner ecosystem.
"Building LastPass into a world-class channel partner has been a
critical component of transitioning the organization from a product
line within a broader portfolio company to a stand-alone, fully
dedicated provider of industry-leading password and identity
management solutions," said Couto. "To that end, LastPass has
assembled a management team with decades of combined cybersecurity
and channel sales experience and success. We believe that this
leadership team, together with significant investments in
enterprise infrastructure, product integrity and innovation, and
proven security, privacy and engineering teams, have positioned
LastPass for continued channel growth in the months and years to
come."
The 2024 Women of the Channel list will be featured in the June
issue of CRN Magazine, with online coverage starting May 13 at
