Wave Welcome CEO, Vennard Wright, Honored on 2023 Channel Futures DE&I 101 List

The list recognizes individuals promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in the technology channel.

PHOENIX, AZ, UNITED STATES, September 29, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — Vennard Wright, President & CEO of Wave Welcome, is among the honorees on the third annual Channel Futures DE&I 101 list. The list recognizes individuals from a wide spectrum of multicultural backgrounds who are driving diversity, equity and inclusion in the communications and technology channel through their words, actions and leadership.

“In a world where technology is intricately woven into the fabric of our daily lives, diversity isn’t just a goal, it’s a necessity. At Wave Welcome, we are steadfastly committed to fostering a culture where diverse perspectives are not just welcomed but are instrumental in shaping innovative solutions. We recognize that the real power of technology lies in its ability to be interceptive, to anticipate and address a broad spectrum of challenges. This can only be achieved when the architects of technology represent the rich tapestry of human diversity. Our mission transcends coding algorithms; it is about encoding inclusivity, equity, and representation into the very DNA of the tech sector.”, said Vennard Wright.

The Channel Futures DE&I 101 list was created to spotlight the efforts of dedicated and determined individuals working to eliminate discrimination in the industry. Many of these individuals work behind the scenes and too often their efforts go unacknowledged.

“DE&I work requires levels of dedication and determination that many people do not possess,” said Kelly Danziger, general manager, Informa Tech Channels. “But as anyone on this list can tell you, the work is as rewarding as it is hard. We are pleased to be able to recognize these individuals and, hopefully, amplify their efforts.”

“DE&I is alive and well in the channel,” said Robert DeMarzo, vice president of content, Informa Tech Channels. “This year we received more nominations than ever before and learned of some remarkable achievements that should be celebrated.”

Nominations for the DE&I 101 list were solicited on the Channel Futures website and through social media. Between April 12 and July 14, individuals could nominate themselves or others for the list. Applications were open to managers, leaders and individual contributors. All submissions were reviewed by members of the Channel Futures editorial team with input from advisory board members.
