SYNNEX Corporation (NYSE: SNX), a leading distributor of IT products and services, announced today that Kevin Murai, President and Chief Executive Officer, was named one of the Top 100 Executives in the Channel by CRN.

Mr. Murai was also named one of the Top Ten Channel Service Leaders for 2011. He was selected for both honors due to his continued vision and leadership in steering SYNNEX Corporation to become a more service-oriented organization, creating deeper partnerships and more sustainable revenue streams for vendors and solution providers. Under his leadership, Mr. Murai and his team of executives have been building and launching a long line up of successful service offerings under the company's Technology Solutions Division, including PRINTSolv (managed print solution), PROHEALTHSolv (healthcare solution), RENEWSolv (renewals management) and most recently, the October launch of CLOUDSolv, SYNNEX Corporation's unique cloud services platform that allows VARs and ISVs to market and sell cloud services, provision, bill and manage disparate cloud services from a single dashboard.

Since taking the helm of SYNNEX Corporation in March 2008, Mr. Murai has orchestrated many progressive moves and investments that have propelled the distributor into a more service-oriented business model. As a seasoned executive, Mr. Murai has more than 20 years of distribution channel experience with focused expertise in global management, operations, information technology and customer relationships.

"I am humbled to be chosen for inclusion in this esteemed group of leaders as one of the Top Ten Channel Service Leaders in the industry," said Kevin Murai, President and Chief Executive Officer. "This recognition reinforces that SYNNEX is continuing to make solid moves to help both our customers and our vendor partners grow their businesses through our unique aggregation of services."

CRN's 2011 Top 100 Executives list was based on nominations from solution providers who rated channel vendor executives based on influence, effectiveness and viability, as well as business and sales impact. The CRN Editorial team judged nominees based on sales volume, channel investment and advocacy, and their performance in 2011 CRN research projects such as Channel Champs and the Annual Report Card.

"From sales leaders and innovators to mavericks and up-and-comers, it takes different types of executives with different philosophies to drive success in the IT Channel," said Kelley Damore, Vice President and Editorial Director for UBM Channel. "We're recognizing this year's Top 100 Executives for their commitment to the channel, as well as their willingness to adopt new strategies and policies in order to drive greater sales for partners, while positioning their own company for future growth. We salute these leaders for their hard work and devotion to the technology channel."

Expanded coverage of the 2011 Top 100 Executives was featured in the November issue of CRN Magazine and online at www.crn.com.
