Annual recognition celebrates Cynet executives supporting partner growth and innovation
BOSTON, May 4, 2026 – Cynet, the unified, AI-powered cybersecurity platform empowering organizations to focus on what matters most, announced that multiple company leaders have been named to the 2026 CRN® Women of the Channel list, including Meghan AuBuchon, Chief Marketing Officer; Jeannine Edwards, Senior Director of Partner Engagement; and Kirsten Vogelsang, Senior Channel Marketing Manager.
This annual CRN list celebrates women from vendors, distributors, solution providers, and other channel-focused organizations who make a positive difference in the IT ecosystem. The CRN 2026 Women of the Channel honorees are innovative and strategic leaders committed to advancing channel excellence and supporting the success of their partners and customers.
“We’re incredibly proud of our Cynet leaders for this well-deserved recognition,” said Jason Magee, CEO of Cynet. “What they’ve accomplished in short order, aligning our leadership, programs, and investments around partner success, is nothing short of amazing, and sets the standard for the partner-obsessed culture we’re building across the entire organization.”
CRN recognized three Cynet leaders for helping partners grow their cybersecurity business through creative brand awareness, a modern approach to partner programs and MDF, and sharing best practices.
Meghan AuBuchon, Chief Marketing Officer, was recognized for transforming Cynet’s marketing organization into a partner-first growth engine. In less than a year, she built and scaled a marketing leadership team that established a new SDR function to extend partners’ go-to-market efforts, and a consistent brand experience from discovery through expansion. Meghan has spent more than a decade leading global marketing strategy for channel-focused businesses.
Jeannine Edwards, Senior Director of Partner Engagement, was honored for her leadership of Cynet’s community-driven events strategy, reimagining the Ignite Partner Program with flexible Growth Ignition Dollars and a Growth Accelerator program, and establishing Cynet’s first-ever Partner Advisory Council. Jeannine is widely recognized for pioneering community as a meaningful differentiator for technology vendors, with 25 years in the MSP and IT channel ecosystem.
Kirsten Vogelsang, Senior Channel Marketing Manager, was recognized for expanding Cynet’s partner marketing strategy globally, realigning GTM messaging to support distinct MSP and VAR selling motions, and receiving Cynet’s first Employee of the Quarter for her early contributions to partner marketing and channel growth. She specializes in building practical, scalable programs that drive pipeline and profitability for partners around the world.
“It’s a privilege to celebrate the remarkable achievements of these women who are driving meaningful change across the IT channel,” said Jennifer Follett, VP of U.S. Content and Executive Editor, CRN at The Channel Company. “Each honoree has demonstrated exceptional leadership and a commitment to bold, innovative strategies that fuel transformation, growth, and success for their organizations and the broader channel. We’re proud to recognize their impact and look forward to seeing how they continue to shape the future of our industry.”
Over the past year, Cynet has invested in building a leadership team with deep, hands-on channel experience, including CEO Jason Magee (former CEO of ConnectWise), and executive hires across sales, marketing, and regional leadership. This is CRN’s latest recognition of Cynet’s global channel momentum, following Scott Tyson, Vice President of North & Central Europe and MEA being named to the 2026 CRN Channel Leaders EMEA list.
