Lexington, KY (Aug. 2, 2018) — Lexmark, a global imaging solutions leader, announced today that CRN, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Sammy Kinlaw, Lexmark vice president, worldwide channel and OEM sales, to its 2018 list of Top 100 Executives. This annual list recognizes leaders from the technology industry who have played an integral role in shaping today’s IT channel, whether by driving huge cultural shifts, creating rich new opportunities, or forging innovative routes to success.

Kinlaw joined the Lexmark executive team in February 2018.

CRN’s 2018 Top 100 Executives embody these qualities. They are change agents who deliver unwavering guidance to their companies, always asking where are we headed and not being afraid to take the necessary steps to get there.”
