FireMon, a leader in network security policy management (NSPM), proudly announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has recognized Nicole Stavroff, VP of Worldwide Channels on the prestigious Women of the Channel list for 2025.
This annual CRN list celebrates women from vendors, distributors, solution providers and other channel-focused organizations who make a positive difference in the IT ecosystem. The CRN 2025 Women of the Channel honorees are innovative and strategic leaders committed to advancing channel excellence and supporting the success of their partners and customers.
Nicole Stavroff serves as Vice President of Worldwide Channels at FireMon, where she leads global channel strategy and empowers partners to drive growth in network security policy management. With over 28 years of experience in channel leadership, Nicole has transformed FireMon’s channel program, revamping the Ignite Partner Program, launching FireMon University, and introducing stackable incentives and strategic sales plays. Under her leadership, FireMon has seen a 600% increase YoY in partner certifications and up to 300% YoY revenue growth across FireMon’s top focus partners. The global channel strategy was a key driver in this revenue growth, combining an ABX-ICP go-to-market focus with strategic partner alignment, with both VARs and alliance vendors. Additionally, strengthening field relationships with key alliance partners like Fortinet and “meeting in the middle” across mutual top partners, enabled the channel to deliver a “Better Together” combined solution and increased ROI value to end-user customers. Nicole was recognized on CRN’s 2024 Power 100 list for her continued impact and innovation in the channel.
“It’s an honor to recognize the outstanding accomplishments of these women, who are leaders and change-makers in the IT channel,” said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content and Executive Editor, CRN at The Channel Company. “Each woman spotlighted on this list has shown exceptional dedication to building creative strategies that propel transformation, growth, and success for their organizations and the entire IT channel.
