ForzaDash Names WatchGuard’s Michelle Welch a 2023 Channel Leader

We are excited to share that ForzaDash, an IT services and consulting firm, has recognized Michelle Welch, WatchGuard’s chief marketing officer and senior vice president of business strategy, in its 2023 Channel Leaders awards list! This marks the second year in a row that Michelle was named to the esteemed list.

The annual ForzaDash Channel Leaders awards program launched in 2022 to celebrate excellence in channel leadership. The list honors channel executives who consistently preserve, endorse and execute effective channel partner programs. A dedicated panel selects winners based on criteria that includes how applicants demonstrate a consistent history of achieving outstanding results through their channel partner programs. Applicants must have a track record of leadership that’s marked by adaptability, innovation, and a clear vision for the future of MSPs.

This recognition couldn’t be more deserved. Michelle works tirelessly to empower WatchGuard's partner ecosystem to deliver critical security protections for organizations that battle increasingly sophisticated threats while dealing with insufficient IT expertise, budgets, and skilled security staff. Michelle and her team are key in supporting WatchGuard’s channel community and mission to make enterprise-grade security accessible to businesses of all types and sizes through simplicity.
