SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Ruckus Networks, an ARRIS company, today announced that CRN^®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named industry-veteran Raelyn Kritzer, head of worldwide partner programs and enablement, to its prestigious list of 2018 Channel Chiefs. The executives on this annual list represent top leaders in the IT channel who excel at driving growth and revenue in their organization through channel partners.

Channel Chief honorees are selected by CRN's editorial staff on the basis of their professional achievements, standing in the industry, dedication to the channel partner community, and strategies for driving future growth and innovation.
