CRN Channel Chiefs Award 2019

GFI Software, the leading provider of network security and communications solutions, announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Pavol Golha, Vice President Channel Sales & Sales Engineering to its prestigious 2019 Channel Chief list. The executives who comprise this annual list span the IT channel, representing vendors, distributors, solution providers and other organizations that figure prominently in the channel ecosystem. Pavol is recognized for his outstanding leadership, vision and unique role in driving channel growth and innovation.

Following GFI’s acquisition of Kerio Technologies and Exinda Networks in 2017, and the recent launch of GFI Unlimited - a game-changing subscription model that provides small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) access to all the network security and communications software they need to power their business with one flat subscription, Pavol has been playing critical role in company’s commercial transition and allround sales support to GFI’s channel partner community.
