CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, names Eric Herzog, Chief Marketing Officer at Infinidat, as an Inclusive Channel Leader for 2025.  In its third year, this CRN list spotlights vendor, distributor, and solution provider executives who are dedicated to making a positive impact across the IT channel through inclusive leadership.  Herzog’s leadership has broadened the ecosystem of people with whom Infinidat works to advance enterprise storage and empower the channel.

“Inclusiveness creates, sustains and strengthens our relationships with our channel partners, customers and employees,” explains Eric Herzog, Chief Marketing Officer, Infinidat.  “Being named a CRN Inclusive Channel Leader for the second year in a row illustrates the consistency and commitment Infinidat has as a mission-driven company to foster diversity and inclusion across the channel and within our organization.  I strive to include a wide range of different perspectives, backgrounds, and opinions that enrich our approach to supercharging the channel and exceeding expectations for innovation with Infinidat’s award-winning portfolio of enterprise storage and next-generation data protection solutions.”

Earlier this year, CRN recognized Herzog as a 2025 CRN Channel Chief – the third time he has won the “Channel Chief” honour.  As a Chief Marketing Officer with a long track record of accolades, Herzog has led marketing efforts to keep Infinidat in the spotlight for channel partners, leading to a 5-Star Rating for the Infinidat Partner Program, the company’s placement on the CRN Storage 100 and CRN Cloud 100, and prestigious awards for innovation, including the 2024 CRN Tech Innovator Award for Cloud Storage.  

CRN’s latest recognition shows that Herzog continues to elevate his influence as a leader by demonstrating an inclusive and diversity-enhanced approach to driving innovation, recognizing talent, developing diverse team coalitions, and expanding partnerships.
