Peter Rodriguez of Pentera Named to 2026 CRN Channel Chiefs List

02 Feb 2026

AVP of Channel Management recognized for rapidly strengthening Pentera’s partner-first strategy and accelerating channel momentum

Boston, MA, February 2, 2026 – Pentera, the market leader in AI-powered  Security Validation, announces that CRN®—a brand of The Channel Company—has named Peter Rodriguez, AVP of Channel Management, to its prestigious 2026 CRN® Channel Chiefs list. This annual recognition celebrates IT vendor and distribution executives who are shaping channel strategy and driving innovation and partnership across the industry.

Rodriguez joined Pentera in 2025 and quickly made an impact by strengthening the company’s increased focus on the channel and enhancing partner engagement. In his first few months, he has focused on streamlining partner enablement and aligning go-to-market teams to support partner-led growth.

 

Last year, Pentera experienced record-breaking partner-driven momentum, with the majority of new business driven through its global channel ecosystem. Rodriguez’s early contributions are helping partners deliver measurable value to customers and capitalize on the growing demand for automated security validation. Pentera’s channel program is designed to meet partners where they are and combines technical credibility, outcome-driven security validation, and scalable enablement to support long-term partner growth.

 

“The channel wins when we align early around customer outcomes,” said Rodriguez. “When our go-to-market teams and partners collaborate to solve real challenges, we accelerate remediation, reduce exposure, and deliver lasting value.” He continues to invest in program enhancements that help partners move faster, deliver measurable results, and scale their business with Pentera.

“Leaders recognized as CRN Channel Chiefs this year have demonstrated unwavering commitment to their partners and the broader IT channel. Their vision, passion and drive for innovation continue to shape the future of our industry. We are proud to celebrate their achievements and the positive impact they make every day,” said Jennifer Follett, Vice President, U.S. Content, Executive Editor, CRN.

CRN’s 2026 Channel Chiefs list will be featured on CRN.com beginning Feb. 2 at www.CRN.com/ChannelChiefs
