He is an invaluable member of the eSentire team,” said Kerry Bailey, eSentire CEO. “Under Chris’ leadership, the channel delivered more than 40 percent of the company’s bookings in 2020, and we expect it to deliver more than 50 percent in 2021. Chris’s contributions, to eSentire and to the entire channel community, make him notably qualified to be recognized with these distinguished leaders.”
In 2020, Braden spearheaded the launch of eSentire’s Partner Advisory Board.
