Kerio's Vice President of Worldwide Sales Honored for Innovative Leadership and Strategy Supporting Global Partners

SAN JOSE, Calif., February 25, 2011 - Kerio Technologies Inc., today announced that Mirek Kren, vice president of worldwide sales, has been named a 2011 Channel Chief by Everything Channel's CRN magazine for the third consecutive year. This year's Channel Chiefs were chosen by the Everything Channel editorial team based on criteria that included policy and program innovations made during the past year, the amount of revenue their company generates through partners, their willingness to speak out publicly on behalf of the channel, and the number of years they have dedicated to channel activities.

Kerio recently launched an improved partner locator with improved partner search capabilities. It also introduced hardware appliances into its product portfolio, expanding from only software. The appliances are offered exclusively via channel partners. With the choice of software, ready to run virtual appliances and now hardware appliances, Kerio now offers its partners and customers unmatched deployment flexibility.

"I am honored to be selected as a channel chief and want to thank our valued partners and customers, and the entire Kerio team," said Kren. "It is a reflection of our continuous investment and dedication to our global channel strategy. This year we are further enhancing the program by bringing more benefits for all partner levels."

"The CRN Channel Chiefs list is a comprehensive listing of the leading channel executives at vendor organizations and their accomplishments," said Kelley Damore, vice president and editorial director, Everything Channel.
