Keepit, the only independent, cloud-native data protection and recovery provider, proudly announced today that CRN UK—a brand of The Channel Company —has selected Alex Walsh and Cyril VanAgt for inclusion on the prestigious 2026 CRN® Channel Leaders EMEA list. This annual recognition celebrates IT vendor and distribution executives who are shaping channel strategy and driving innovation and partnership across the industry.
Keepit operates a 100 percent channel-led go-to-market model, with all sales delivered through value-added resellers, managed service providers, GSI’s and strategic alliances. In January, Keepit announced its strengthened global channel team to execute its unified, global partner strategy, accelerating growth in 2026.
Keepit’s channel focus is built around practical execution: predictable pricing structure, consistent enablement opportunities, and a vendor-independent SaaS backup and recovery platform that fits any industry requirements, in any region.
“Both Alex and Cyril are key players in Keepit’s partner strategy and aim to become the most partner-friendly IT vendor in the world. The Keepit Partner Network is founded on the values of caring, uniting, striving and exploring – I couldn’t think of two better stewards in the EMEA region than Alex and Cyril,” says Jan Ursi, VP of Global Channels at Keepit.
