Sunnyvale, CA, February 25, 2008 —  Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc, a leading supplier of innovative computer products including hard disk drives (HDD), peripherals, broadcast video products and biometric security solutions, today announced that Lorne Wilson has been named a 2008 Channel Chief by CRN, the flagship publication of CMP Channel, the No. 1 destination for technology vendors and marketers looking to reach the $373 billion Solution Provider channel. CRN Channel Chiefs are recognized as influential executives who consistently defend, promote and execute effective channel partner programs and strategies.

This is the sixth consecutive year CRN has recognized Mr. Wilson as a Channel Chief. He has successfully led the Fujitsu channel business team for 7 years. During this time, he has grown the channel and local OEM business by 58% annually. In addition to the HDD business, Lorne also leads Fujitsu’s New Products Group. He initiated channel programs for different vertical markets to support palm vein recognition technology, 10Gb Ethernet switches, degaussers and high definition video encoders.

"It’s an honor to be recognized by CRN as a Channel Chief amongst all the successful executives in the industry. As a company we’re committed to continually investing in and enhancing our products and programs to support our partners," said Lorne Wilson, senior vice president, sales and marketing, Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. "Our success is dependent upon our partners’ success. Therefore, our focus remains on strengthening relationships with our partners to ensure we fully understand their business and can exceed their expectations."

Lorne’s presence as a leader is not only felt in the business world, but also within non-profit organizations. He serves on the Board of Directors for both the Connecticut Audubon Society and the Junior Seau Foundation. Through his involvement with these organizations, Lorne also makes a positive impact in local communities.

This is the sixth consecutive year that CRN has developed the Channel Chief list. Top Channel Chiefs were chosen based on criteria including policy and program innovations made during the past year, the amount of revenue their company generates through partners, their willingness to speak out publicly on behalf of the channel, and the number of years they have dedicated to channel activities.

"Successful channel programs and strategies help fuel the booming Solution Provider ecosystem, and each of this year's Channel Chiefs should be applauded for building and advocating the most successful of those programs and strategies," said Dan Dignam, vice president and publisher, CMP Channel.
