Selection Recognizes Reflexion's Commitment to Channel Partners and Rapid Growth
WOBURN, Mass. — February 23, 2009 — Reflexion Networks, Inc. today announced that Scott Barlow, its Vice President of Sales and Marketing, has been named a 2009 Channel Chief by Everything Channel's CRN. CRN Channel Chiefs are recognized as influential executives who consistently defend, promote and execute effective channel partner programs and strategies.
Mr. Barlow's selection was based upon his leadership in achieving record sales results through unwavering commitment to a 100% channel-driven sales model.

Reflexion was also recognized last year by Everything Channel as a VARBusiness Tech Innovator Company of the Year in Managed Services.
This is the seventh consecutive year that CRN has developed the Channel Chief list. Top Channel Chiefs were chosen based on criteria including 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.
"With Scott's leadership, fidelity to our channel is a non-negotiable value for Reflexion," said David Hughes, Reflexion's President and CEO. "Our entire team works hard to create an overall relationship in which Reflexion and our partners can profit and grow together – and it's working."
Added Kevin Carlson, CTO of TelosIT of Colorado Springs, CO, "With Reflexion, there's never any question about channel conflict, their development team is responsive to the needs of partners, and the quality of their technical support is really top-notch."
"Effective channel executives consistently ensure that the Channel's voice is heard when strategic decisions are being made and continually nurture mutually profitable relationships," said Robert C. DeMarzo, SVP/Editorial Director, Everything Channel. "This year's Channel Chiefs are strong channel advocates and we applaud them for their successful partner programs and strategies."
