SAN FRANCISCO, February 5, 2024 – IGEL, provider of the secure endpoint OS for now and next, today announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Phil Eden, Vice President of North America Channel Sales for IGEL, 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.
Over the past year, Eden has worked to build the partner acceleration model for IGEL’s secure endpoint platform, based on a Preventative Security Model for the Zero Trust protections that help to eliminate security vulnerabilities while delivering exceptional user experiences. This included activating, training and empowering partners to increase their customer engagement using the platform to empower users and lower end user computing costs.
“At IGEL, we are deeply invested in the success of our partners to support our mutual growth and scale,” said Eden. “Enablement is the foundation of a successful partnership. My team and I are passionate about advocating for our partners and our ecosystem, the idea of being intentionally different and/or different by design is something we perpetuate wherever we go. It’s our underlying belief that creativity is the foundation of our success. Sometimes we are the muse, and sometimes we are the painter for our partners.”
Klaus Oestermann, CEO, IGEL, added, “I am thrilled to see Phil recognized by CRN as an IT channel influencer and leader. With his channel leadership, IGEL continues to lead our partners for mutual success. We are incredibly grateful for his contributions including his role in the growth of our IGEL Services Specialization program and empowering our partners to optimize and secure the experience customers have with their IGEL OS-powered endpoint environments.”
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.

The Channel Company is pleased to acknowledge these prominent channel leaders and looks forward to chronicling their achievements throughout the year.”
