Calabasas, CA - USA - June 16, 2022 — Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, a leading provider of communications, cloud and networking solutions tailored to customers’ industries, today announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Holly Berger, Director of Channel Distribution, North America Sales, to its Women of the Channel list for 2022. This esteemed list honors the incredible accomplishments of female leaders in the IT channel. Those named on this annual list come from all corners of the IT channel — including vendors, distributors, and solution providers whose vision, expertise, and contributions make an impact on the industry every day.

By bringing innovative concepts, strategic business planning and comprehensive channel initiatives to life, these extraordinary women support partners and customers with exceptional leadership. CRN celebrates these women, who are so deserving of recognition, for their constant dedication to channel excellence.

Holly oversees and drives the distribution strategy for both the US and Canada at Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise.
