Sign up here to receive our weekly newsletter, CRN Channel Essentials, in your inbox: okt.to/BARcdL. In the Thursday, May 21 edition of CRN Channel Essentials, @CRN Senior Associate Editor CJ Fairfield breaks down her takeaways from her session on generational differences among women in corporate America at last week's Women of the Channel Leadership Summit West, hosted by our parent company, The Channel Company. While CJ says she and her fellow moderator, Brenda Hudson, senior vice president of corporate sales, sales enablement, learning and development at @InsightEnt, figured out corporate life in wildly different ways, the generational divide wasn't what stood out most: The humanity was. You'll learn more when you read tomorrow's edition of CRN Channel Essentials, a weekly newsletter written by a CRN editor on a particular news story, topic or trend that is pertinent to the channel community.

Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z women in the IT channel may be chasing the same goals (e.g., better careers and workplaces), but new research from our parent company, @TheChannelCo, shows they are arriving there with very different frustrations, expectations and definitions of success. CJ Fairfield breaks down key takeaways from the research, which Amy Wilde, The Channel Company’s director of data and research, presented at last week’s @WOTChannel Summit West in Carlsbad, Calif. CJ also spoke with Stacy Whitley, director of strategic memberships at the @GTIAofficial, for her perspective on the findings: okt.to/28guTa

Congratulations to @JoyceAMullen, president and CEO of @InsightEnt, our 2025 Women of the Year Awards Lifetime Achievement Award recipient! You can learn about Joyce and her career, with insights shared by her and her following colleagues, here: okt.to/FmlYyq. - Brenda Hudson, senior vice president of commercial sales, sales enablement and learning and development, Insight - @EricaLambert03, senior vice president of global customer success and education services, @DellTech - Shawn Trotter, vice president of sales, @GTS_TS_, and a 23-year Dell veteran - Jen Vasin, chief human resources officer, Insight Mullen reshaped Dell Technologies’ global channel and OEM ecosystem into a $100-billion-plus innovation engine, and led solutions provider Insight’s reinvention into an AI-first solutions integrator. Yet it’s her people-first ethos that sets her apart, those close to her echo. She exudes authenticity that has made teams fiercely loyal, humility that allowed her to learn from anyone, and conviction that empowered countless women and rising leaders to believe in themselves. Mullen doesn’t just deliver results, she elevates people, redefines what’s possible and leaves every organization stronger than she found it. Mullen received the Lifetime Achievement Award six weeks after announcing her retirement from her current role at Insight. #CRNWOTY #WOTC
