Jade Surrette - The Channel Company: Woman of the Week (WOW)

Please join me in celebrating Jade Surrette, President of Agency Services, with The Channel Company as our Woman of the Week!
Jade shares her unique journey, professional wisdom, and the experiences that have shaped her leadership style. Growing up in New Hampshire, Jade stayed close to her roots to care for her family and now enjoys the diverse landscapes and proximity to both city and nature.
Jade reflects on pivotal moments that have defined her career, including her role as one of the first vendor-funded channel roles-a groundbreaking position that would influence the channel community for years to come. She also shares two major transformational experiences: a mentorship early in her career that instilled confidence and preparation, and her initiative to pitch and create a new role to address a gap within her organization. This bold move not only allowed her to gain new skills but also opened doors to more impactful contributions.
Jade candidly discusses challenges in leading through change, emphasizing her approach of focusing on opportunities over obstacles to help her team embrace new directions with positivity. Her stories reveal valuable insights about resilience, taking initiative, and the importance of adaptability in leadership.
Join us in celebrating Jade as Woman of the Week and hear her inspiring advice for those navigating their own paths in the tech and channel industries.
