SOUTHLAKE, TX., February 8, 2024 – Gradient Cyber, the mid-market leader in MXDR, is proud to announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Steve Chappell, Gradient Cyber’s Chief Revenue and Operations Officer, to the prestigious 2024 CRN® Channel Chiefs list, which recognizes the IT vendor and distribution executives who are driving strategy and setting the channel agenda for their companies.

Steve serves as the Chief Revenue and Operations Officer at Gradient Cyber where he oversees channels, sales, and company operations. His extensive background in cybersecurity and networking arenas has helped shape Gradient’s Channel-First approach in 2024. 

 

“MSPs, MSSPs, and VARs stand at a crossroads in their approach to cybersecurity services.

This empowers them to confidently address a broader market.”
