The combined membership holds thousands of advanced technical product and services specialisations. The community also has a longstanding reputation for signalling industry trends and technologies and finding efficient and effective ways to solve core, critical, and complex business challenges.
With an established and growing footprint in the US, Canada, UK, Austria, Switzerland, and Germany, members of the expanded Trust X Alliance are often honoured by today’ s top channel trades including CRN’ s MSP 500, Tech Elite 250, and SP 500, as well as Channel Futures’ MSP 501, to name a few.
Additionally, dozens of and emerging vendors are aligning their channel go-tomarket success with Trust X Alliance. Many members of the 2024 Trust X Alliance serve on the Partner Advisory Boards of today’ s most prominent technology brands and have been celebrated as Partners of the Year by those companies.
As part of the community’ s strategic alignment with the business, Ingram Micro also announced the appointment of two exemplary sales, marketing, and business growth executives to champion the community internally and externally. John Fago, Executive Director of Worldwide Growth Marketing, and Kelly Sander, Executive Director of US SMB sales, now work alongside Ingram Micro’ s longstanding community leaders and new 2025 TXA Council members.
“ The coming together of these two highperforming communities is good for business and great for growth, personally and professionally, and with other community members, as well as Ingram Micro and our vendor partners,” said Bill Blum, US co- President of Trust X Alliance and Founder and CEO of Alpine Business Technologies.“ As one community, we are smarter, more resourceful, and have a real market gain when it comes to seeing trends, sharing insights, and actioning better business and technology practices,” said Mark Sutor, Canadian President of Trust X Alliance and Vice President and General Manager, Access Group.
