During a special interview recorded live at the Beyond 26 Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah, we sat down with Cassie Jeppson, Director Ecosystem Strategy at Lenovo. Cassie is a dynamic leader whose passion for people, partnerships, and innovation is helping to reshape the channel. She has also been featured on CRN’s Women of the Channel list, Channel Futures DE&I 101, and as a CRN Inclusive Leader.

Highlights include:

Cassie’s new global leadership role, where she is focused on enhancing the end-to-end partner experience and helping organizations navigate growth through collaboration, communication, and trust.

The evolution of partner ecosystems, the importance of listening over assumptions, and why every partner—from emerging businesses to enterprise organizations—deserves recognition and support.

Staying authentic, embracing mentorship and championing diversity and inclusion.

Finding harmony between professional success and personal fulfillment.

A refreshing perspective on what it means to lead with vulnerability and purpose, this conversation is a must-listen for technology leaders, channel professionals, and anyone striving to create meaningful impact through relationships and partnerships.
