Brad Dupee, Executive Vice President, Business Markets of FreeConferenceCall.com Recognized as 2016 CRN® Channel Chief

The world’s most recognized conferencing brand, today announces that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Brad Dupee, Executive Vice President, Business Markets, to its prestigious list of 2016 Channel Chiefs. The executives on this annual list represent top leaders in the IT channel who excel at driving growth and revenue in their organizations through channel partners.

Channel Chief honorees are selected by CRN’s editorial staff on the basis of their professional achievements, standing in the industry, dedication to the channel partner community and strategies for driving future growth and innovation. Each of the 2016 Channel Chiefs has demonstrated loyalty and ongoing support for the IT channel by consistently promoting, defending and executing outstanding channel partner programs.

Dupee brings more than 22 years of entrepreneurial sales and marketing leadership in telecommunications. His role at FreeConferenceCall.com For Business™ focuses on maximizing the exposure and value of enterprise conferencing and collaboration solutions. In the last year, he has worked to implement a channel-only sales model and deal registration process, which almost entirely eliminates channel conflict. He designed a program that provides the highest commissions in the industry (up to 2x the industry comparable) and created a solution set and go-to-market plan that gives channel partners the opportunity to move upmarket and gain easy entry into the enterprise.

“We congratulate Brad on this outstanding recognition from CRN,” said FreeConferenceCall.com President Bob Wise. “Our goal for the channel at FreeConferenceCall.com For Business is to increase the profitability of our partners by offering unprecedented commissions, innovative programs and an experienced staff of industry veterans. Being recognized as a Channel Chief is a testament to Brad’s commitment to our partners, innovation and the program he has built.”
