NEW YORK, March 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verizon Business today announced the winners of its annual Partner Recognition Program to kick off this year’s Channel Partners Conference & Expo activation in Las Vegas, where the company will have a large presence across the mainstage and event floor.

This year, eleven partners are being recognized for being on the leading edge of serving customers and delivering results. Recognitions include both performance-based and self-nominated awards, with winners being evaluated based on their accomplishments, alignment with social and community impact, customer business impact, and partner innovation.

“Our partners are a very important part of our business,” said Mark Tina, Channel Chief and Vice President of Indirect Partner Sales for Verizon Business. “Partnerships are a two-way street – we win together and we lose together – and having a positive culture that extends to the community around you, as well as a spirit of innovation, are core values we look at when working with partners. The businesses being recognized this year as winners of the Verizon Partner Network Recognition Program exemplify these values, and we’re lucky to work with them.”

The Verizon Partner Network, which was also honored today by CRN^®, a brand of The Channel Company, with a 5-Star Award in the 2025 CRN Partner Program Guide, developed this recognition program to celebrate the accomplishments of vendors who demonstrate excellence in their partner program, allowing for an opportunity to recognize how their commitment to greatness is fostering innovation within the channel.
