This annual list recognizes leaders from the technology industry who have played an integral role in shaping today’s IT channel, whether by driving huge cultural shifts, creating rich new opportunities, or forging innovative routes to success.
Kinlaw joined the Lexmark executive team in February 2018.

CRN’s 2018 Top 100 Executives embody these qualities.
