Sunnyvale, Calif.– Mitel, a global leader in business communications, has announced that its channel sales and distribution executives Steve Loebrich and Steffen Kruger have been named to the prestigious 2025 CRN Channel Chiefs list.
The recognition is given annually by CRN, a brand of The Channel Company, to IT vendors and distribution executives who drive strategy and set the channel agenda for their companies. This marks the second consecutive year that Kruger has received this honor, while Loebrich has been recognized for the first time.
Loebirch leads Mitel’s channel sales team across the US and Canada, driving quarter-over-quarter growth through his approach to onboarding new partners and enhancing value-added services. He emphasizes the importance of collaboration with partners to provide customers with modern business solutions that adapt to changing needs while ensuring resiliency and security.
Kruger serves as Mitel’s Head of Global Partner Program, bringing over 40 years of experience in sales, channel operations, and global leadership. Last year, he introduced a new partner relationship management tool and portal, which significantly increased data transparency for the company’s extensive network of partners.
“We’re thrilled to recognize Steve and Steffen’s dedication, innovation, and leadership that supports solution provider success and growth across the channel,” said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content, and Executive Editor, CRN. “Their efforts have made a lasting impact on the channel, championing partnerships and designing creative strategies that drive results.”
The 2025 Channel Chiefs list will be featured in the February print issue of CRN Magazine and online at www.CRN.com/ChannelChiefs.
