CLEARWATER, Fla. --(Business Wire)--
Stacy Nethercoat, Tech Data's (News - Alert) vice president (NASDAQ: TECD), Software Product Marketing, has been recognized by Everything Channel's CRN Magazine as one of the Top 100 Women in the Channel. According to CRN, the women selected for the list are chosen for their "achievements as executives and the amount of influence they wield over the technology channel. The Top 100 Women in the Channel represent a changing trend in a traditionally all male industry."
"There are so many women executives throughout the channel with resellers, manufacturers, software developers and distributors all of whom make significant contributions to the success of our industry," said Nethercoat. "CRN is acknowledging those contributions, and I'm grateful to be recognized alongside these talented and accomplished women."
The Top 100 Women in the Channel list includes women executives from other IT industry leaders, including Cisco (News - Alert), HP, IBM, Microsoft and VMware. It also marks the fourth consecutive year that Tech Data has been represented on the list by one of the company's women executives.
"We are very proud to see Stacy earn this well-deserved recognition," said Tech Data President, The Americas Ken Lamneck. "The continued growth of our software business is a priority for Tech Data, and Stacy's leadership has been instrumental in our success. She and her team of software licensing experts have enhanced processes and introduced innovative e-business tools. They are making it easier and more cost effective for IT resellers to sell software and for vendors to bring their solutions to the market."
Nethercoat oversees all marketing programs and initiatives developed in support of Tech Data's Software Product Marketing Division vendor partners, which include leading software publishers like Adobe, CA, Microsoft, Oracle, Symantec and Trend Micro (News - Alert).

She also was a director in Tech Data's Sales and Marketing Operations Division, where she worked closely with the Sales Division and was a key contributor in the evolution of the company's pricing methodologies. During that time, she assumed the role of pricing consultant for the company's European operations, serving on a multi-national executive task force to share best management practices.
Prior to her current role, Nethercoat was vice president, SMB Sales, which is Tech Data's sales division dedicated to supporting resellers fulfilling the IT demands of small and medium businesses (SMBs).
