2025 CRN Channel Madness

CRN’s Channel Madness Tournament of Chiefs pits some of the channel’s best-known executives against each other in head-to-head battles where CRN readers determine the victors.

Cloudflare’s Tom Evans Captures Channel Madness Victory Amid Major Partner Push >>

Both Evans and the tournament’s other finalist, 1Password’s Lori Cornmesser, told CRN that massive cybersecurity opportunities and an expanded focus on the channel are delivering huge wins with the help of partners.

As our CRN Channel Madness Tournament came down to 1Password's Lori Cornmesser versus Cloudflare's Tom Evans, so too did our Bracket Challenge come down to a contest between the fans of the two chiefs.

And while 1PChannel would have been on top with a Cornmesser win, only one participant in our Bracket Challenge was able to correctly foresee its finish, with Tom Evans' narrow win.

Congratulations to The Wolf Den, whose skilled picks won the 2025 CRN Bracket Challenge Championship!
