SAN FRANCISCO – May 11, 2023Talkdesk®, Inc., a global contact center leader for enterprises of all sizes today announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has recognized the achievements of Beth Bacon and Kimberly Glennon and named both to its 2023 Women of The Channel List.


The CRN 2023 Women of the Channel honorees bring their creativity, strategic thinking, and leadership to bear in a variety of roles and responsibilities, but all are turning their unique talents toward driving success for their partners and customers. With this recognition, CRN honors these women for their unwavering dedication and commitment to furthering channel excellence.


As the Talkdesk regional vice president, North American channel, Beth Bacon has been instrumental in the strengthening and expansion of the Talkdesk partner program in North America, driving additional revenue and contributing significantly to the company’s exponential growth. For example, Beth and her team designed a partner training program that applies across all business pillars, including globally, to address the education needs of the Talkdesk business partners. In addition, she has executed the industry’s first PowerPlay program where Talkdesk adds business partners to direct sales opportunities in reward for their contributions. 


Since joining Talkdesk as national channel director in early 2020, Kimberly Glennon has made her mark on the company’s channel strategy and program. Kimberly joined the Talkdesk channel team with the goal of making the Talkdesk brand a household name in the Trusted Advisor community. She has remained committed over the last few years to engage, enable, and empower trust advisors to sell contact center as a service (CCaaS). 


“Beth and Kim are remarkable leaders, strategists, and partner experience professionals, and are shining examples of the Talkdesk successful partner and alliances programs,” said Chad Haydar, global vice president, channels and alliances. “Both have contributed significantly to not only the Talkdesk success but also the white-glove experience we provide our customers across a variety of industries. We are thrilled that they are being recognized for their knowledge, thinking, and commitment to advancing the channel experience.”  


Kimberly and Beth join other Talkdesk executives recognized for outstanding work creating a successful channel strategy, including Chad Haydar, Talkdesk global vice president, channels and alliances, who was named CRN Channel Chief earlier this year. 


CRN’s 2022 Women of the Channel list will be featured in the June issue of CRN Magazine and online at www.CRN.com/Magazine.
