Ian Anderson of Park Place Technologies Recognised on the Prestigious 2025 CRN® Channel Leaders List for EMEA

LONDON, March 6, 2025– — Park Place Technologies, the world’s leading global data centre and network optimisation firm, is proud to announce that Ian Anderson, Senior Director, Partner Sales, has been recognised as one of EMEA’s top channel leaders, having been named in the inaugural and highly anticipated 2025 CRN® Channel Leaders list for EMEA.

The CRN Channel Leaders listing celebrates the channel individuals driving success in the channel community and shaping EMEA’s channel ecosystem. The list, which does not have a ranking system, highlights the most influential channel figures driving innovation, growth and collaboration in the IT channel, across EMEA, and Park Place Technologies is proud to have a channel leader who has been recognised as a key figure in our regional channel landscape.

“I am delighted to be recognised as a CRN Channel Leader for 2025 in EMEA,” Ian Anderson said. “Having been in the industry for over 30 years, working for a number of years at both a major OEM and a large System Integrator, it’s been fascinating for me personally to sit on the other side of the fence with Park Place Technologies in the IT services space.  The success of our channel business is testament to the drive and determination of our team to help our partners, and their customers simplify services, optimise IT infrastructure management and save money.”

Since Anderson’s arrival at Park Place Technologies, 15 months ago, he has achieved key accomplishments in his channel-related efforts, including the implementation of a Partner Advisory Board, and the introduction of Partner Briefings and Awards.

The CRN Channel Leaders list recognises IT vendor and distribution executives who lead channel strategies for their organisations and drive innovations across channel initiatives in EMEA. The annual list honours channel leaders who are dedicated to building and evolving strategies that drive success for their channel partners and customers.

“The leaders we honour this year reimagine what’s possible in the channel and consistently deliver best-in-class programs that drive results for solution providers across EMEA,” said Victoria Pavlova, Editor, CRN UK, at The Channel Company. “Their ability to forge meaningful partnerships and craft dynamic strategies is transformative for providers and the channel. It’s a privilege to recognise their groundbreaking contributions and celebrate their role in shaping the future of the channel.”
