Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America (SIICA), a division of Sharp Electronics Corporation (SEC), today announced that Erica Calise, Director, Government and Corporate Marketing, has been named to The Channel Company’s prestigious 2015 CRN® Women of the Channel. The annual list honors outstanding female executives across vendor channel organizations, distributors, solution providers and other women prominently involved in the IT channel ecosystem for their successes and the far-reaching impact they are having on the technology industry going forward.

This year’s Women of the Channel were carefully reviewed and selected by the editors of CRN based on their accomplishments and the influence they wield over the technology channel.

With more than 24 years of industry experience, Erica is responsible for managing and developing new opportunities in the government and education vertical markets. Under her direction, Sharp signed a multi-million dollar single source contract with the National Joint Power Alliance (NJPA), exponentially growing Sharp’s reseller business within the education market.

“These executives have made a lasting mark on the industry, expanding the breadth of influence in the technology channel,” said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. “We congratulate the Women of the Channel, and celebrate their innovative contributions and commitment to the IT channel community.”

“We are so proud that Erica has been named as one of CRN’s Women of the Channel, as the contributions of women in our industry have been overlooked for far too long,” said Mike Marusic, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Operations, Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America. “This recognition is well deserved. Erica’s insight and influence has been a driving force in Sharp’s successes within government and education verticals.”
