ROCHESTER, N.Y., Feb. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Calero, the global leader in Technology Business Management (TBM) solutions, today announced that CRN® – a brand of The Channel Company – has selected Jason Wieser, Senior Vice President of Channel Sales, for inclusion on the prestigious 2026 CRN Channel Chiefs list. The recognition acknowledges Calero’s partner-first channel model, which is grounded in insight, discipline, and long-term customer value.
The annual CRN Channel Chiefs list honors IT vendor and distribution executives who are shaping channel strategy and driving innovation and collaboration across the industry. Wieser was also named a CRN Channel Chief in 2023, making this his second time earning the recognition.
Wieser brings nearly two decades of experience leading channel strategy and execution to Calero. He commented, “The channel is evolving, and growth today comes from helping partners move beyond transactions to long-term customer value. At Calero, we’re focused on building an ecosystem that supports that shift – one that’s structured, transparent, and designed to help partners create a sustainable pipeline.”
Calero’s channel strategy centers on visibility and measurable outcomes, equipping partners to navigate complex SaaS, mobility, and telecom spend. A disciplined program and practical enablement help partners ramp faster, differentiate clearly, and build a predictable pipeline. Additionally, Calero’s unified platform and actionable insight enables partners to drive smarter technology decisions and customer value.
Added Wieser, “We don’t compete with our partners or go around them; our model strengthens their position with customers by providing the visibility and expertise needed to identify inefficiencies, clarify technology spend, and turn that intelligence into meaningful, ongoing customer conversations.”
For Technology Services Distributors and their partner ecosystems, Calero enables growth beyond one-off transactions, supporting continued customer engagement, uncovering new opportunities through deeper technology insight, and reinforcing the partner’s role as a trusted advisor over time.
“Leaders recognized as CRN Channel Chiefs this year have demonstrated unwavering commitment to their partners and the broader IT channel,” said Jennifer Follett, Vice President, U.S. Content, Executive Editor, CRN. “Their vision, passion and drive for innovation continue to shape the future of our industry. We are proud to celebrate their achievements and the positive impact they make every day.”
