CHANDLER, Ariz., December 8, 2023 —  Insight Enterprises (NASDAQ:NSIT), a global Solutions Integrator driving client success through digital transformation, is proud to announce that John Dathan was awarded Ally of the Year by CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, at the inaugural CRN Women of the Year Awards Gala in New York on Tuesday. The Ally of the Year promotes gender equality in the technology industry via sponsorship and advocacy.

“I am not only honored to be named CRN’s Ally of the Year, but to have been nominated by my colleagues is incredibly humbling,” said Dathan, an Insight executive advisor. “My past experience as a single father raising a daughter still fuels my passion to participate in women-focused IT organizations and allyship workshops. It’s personally fulfilling to help female colleagues grow in their career development. Mentoring and recognizing individuals who are ready to be promoted, like Jessica Colatosti — a CRN Next-Gen Solution Provider who began as a marketing coordinator at Insight and now leads our Cisco practice in Canada — can help them achieve their full potential.”

The CRN Women of the Year Awards, launched in conjunction with The Channel Company’s Women of the Channel conference series, shine a spotlight on the women, allies and companies driving meaningful change in the tech sector and who have made significant contributions to the channel throughout 2023.
