Those named on this annual list come from all corners of the IT channel — including vendors, distributors, and solution providers whose vision, expertise, and contributions make an impact on the industry every day.

Plank has served with Park Place Technologies for almost eight years. In her current role, she leads the Inside Channel Sales Team that focuses on creating and nurturing critical relationships with partners and focuses on strategic sales tactics that help continually develop the channel program. She was named to the 2021 CRN Rising Female Stars List. That list honors up-and-coming, talented women in the IT channel for whose contributions are shaping the future of the IT channel through their leadership, tireless dedication and innovative ideas.

“This is an unexpected honor,” Plank said. “The women on this list are simply phenomenal. Their contributions to the industry are amazing and it’s exciting to be numbered among them.”

As Director of Partner Sales, Jean is dedicated to creating and building key relationships with top clients and growth partners. Her focus is on strategic sales and tactical plans to build and support the Park Place’s channel program.

By bringing innovative concepts, strategic business planning, and comprehensive channel initiatives to life, these extraordinary women support partners and customers with exceptional leadership. CRN celebrates these women, who are so deserving of recognition, for their constant dedication to channel excellence.

“We are proud to once again recognize the remarkable leaders on this year’s Women of the Channel list.
