For the third consecutive year, Rapid7’s Alex Page has been honored as a CRN Channel Chief, a testament to his unwavering commitment to driving growth, fostering innovation, and strengthening our global channel partnerships. CRN’s annual Channel Chiefs list showcases the top leaders throughout the IT channel ecosystem who go above and beyond to ensure mutual success with their partners and customers. This recognition highlights Alex’s remarkable leadership as well as the significant strides his team has made in collaboration with Rapid7’s channel ecosystem.
A philosophy that drives success
Alex’s channel philosophy is simple, yet powerful: Focus matters. By identifying and investing in the partners who best align with Rapid7’s goals and have the ability to deliver exceptional customer success, Alex and his team ensure a meaningful and impactful collaboration. This focused approach has not only delivered outstanding mutual results, it has also deepened the appreciation and trust we share with our partners.
Innovating for the future
An example of an impactful initiative led by Alex and his team in 2024 was Rapid7’s partnership with Comcast. This collaboration combines the advanced SecOps technology of Rapid7’s Command Platform with 24/7 SOC capabilities to provide superior threat detection and prevention for Comcast’s small, medium, and large enterprise customers. Through this innovative partnership, we have expanded our partner ecosystem as well as set a new standard for delivering world-class security solutions.
Looking ahead to 2025
As the channel landscape evolves, Alex and his team — supported by the greater Rapid7 organization — are doubling down on three key areas in 2025:
- Relationship focused approach – By focusing on the partners who will solve our customers’ problems, and forming deep relationships with each of them, rather than aiming for a breadth of partners with shallow connections, we will jointly acquire more customers and enable their long-term success.
- A unified partner experience – Many of Rapid7’s partners don’t fit cleanly into a single bucket. They’re not just a channel partner or just a service provider; they are many things to their customers. In 2025 and beyond, partners will be able to engage with Rapid7 and their customers in a variety of ways.
- Technical enablement and specialization – Partners are making it clear that they need to empower their technical resources more than ever before to meet the evolving security needs of their customers. By prioritizing technical enablement and helping our partners specialize in the many capabilities where Rapid7 technologies lead the market, we will ultimately drive even higher rates of customer satisfaction together, which leads to positive business outcomes for the customer, the partner, and Rapid7.
