Halcyon VP of Channel Chris Catanzaro of Tapped for the 2025 CRN Channel Chiefs List

Halcyon today announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Chris Catanzaro, Worldwide VP of MSSP Sales and Channel Ecosystems of Halcyon, to the prestigious 2025 CRN® Channel Chiefs list, which recognizes the IT vendor and distribution executives who are driving strategy and setting the channel agenda for their companies.  

Catanzaro has developed, managed and expanded the Halcyon Revolution Partner Program since he joined the company in February 2024. In under one year, he helped grow the program by 121%. To continue the channel program’s strong momentum, the Halcyon team plans to make major investments into the Halcyon Revolution Partner Program in the year ahead.  

“I am honored to be recognized on the 2025 CRN Channel List alongside so many inspiring channel leaders. It’s been tremendously rewarding to play an integral role in the growth of the Halcyon Revolution Partner Program over this past year and it could not be done without our incredible team,” said Catanzaro.

“As an industry, we have all learned the hard way that ransomware does not discriminate. Through the program, we are enabling more businesses to protect themselves from the crippling threat of ransomware.”  

The Channel Chiefs list, released annually by CRN, showcases the top leaders throughout the IT channel ecosystem who work tirelessly to ensure mutual success with their partners and customers.  

“This year’s honorees exemplify dedication, innovation, and leadership that supports solution provider success and fosters growth across the channel,” said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content, and Executive Editor, CRN, at The Channel Company.  

“Each of these exceptional leaders has made a lasting channel impact by championing partnerships and designing creative strategies that get results. They’ve set a high bar in the channel, and we’re thrilled to recognize their standout achievements.”  

This news comes on the heels of a recent announcement from Halcyon surrounding the United Kingdom (U.K.) expansion of the Halcyon Revolutions Partner Program. As part of the program’s U.K. expansion, Halcyon also announced a strategic partnership with U.K. cybersecurity solutions provider and distributor Distology to improve ransomware resilience.
