VMware Celebrates 49 Employees Recognized on CRN’s Women of the Channel for 2022

We are pleased to announce that @CRN has included 49 VMware leaders on the 2022 Women of the Channel list.

VMware has been recognized by Forbes in its list of <a href="https://www.forbes.com/lists/best-employers-diversity/?sh=2e7ee9c56468">America’s Best Employers for Diversity</a> in 2022 for the fourth consecutive year, ranking number 2 on the overall list and was also the top ranked technology company. VMware ranked number 11 on Forbes’ list in <a href="https://www.forbes.com/lists/best-employers-diversity/?sh=5cd594386468">2021</a>.

“We’re proud to be recognized for our sustained commitment to an inclusive culture where all VMware people can belong and thrive,” said Rich Lang, senior vice president, Human Resources, and acting global head of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) at VMware. “Our people are the core of who we are as a company, and our EPIC2 culture is vital to our long-term success. We are keeping ourselves honest and accountable by continuing to actively seek out, listen to and incorporate the viewpoints of women employees and employees from underrepresented groups, and also integrating inclusive and equitable practices into all aspects of the VMware career journey.”

Forbes partnered with market research company Statista to survey 60,000 people working for businesses with at least 1,000 employees to determine the companies they identified as most dedicated to diversity, equity and inclusion. More than 10,000 companies were reviewed, and the final list ranks the 500 employers that not only received the most recommendations, but also boast the most diverse boards and executive ranks and the most proactive diversity and inclusion initiatives.

VMware’s top ranking on this list was a result of survey participants rating their own organizations on criteria such as age, gender, ethnicity, disability and sexual orientation equality, as well as that of general diversity. Respondents belonging to underrepresented groups were also asked to nominate organizations other than their own to compile this list.

As part of this agenda, VMware is redefining the workplace of the future through initiatives that include its DEI efforts. As part of its DEI representation goals by 2030, VMware has committed to hiring 50/50 women and gender non-binary/men by 2030; and that 50-percent of its managers identify as a woman, gender non-binary, and/or from an underrepresented community.

Today at the HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition, VMware will showcase the latest solutions to help healthcare organizations around the world enable smart, connected, patient-centered care in <a href="https://himss22.mapyourshow.com/8_0/exhibitor/exhibitor-details.cfm?exhid=21770">booth #2121</a>. VMware powers healthcare leaders like Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Sentara and University Hospital Essen to build, run, manage, and better secure all apps across clouds.

“On the frontline of the pandemic, healthcare organizations have had to make tough decisions very quickly to maintain patient-centered care across the continuum,” said Enrique Estrada, senior director, healthcare industry solutions. “As CIOs and IT leaders continue to accelerate their digital transformation timelines, innovation is driving a new standard of care that extends beyond the four walls of a hospital system. We are helping our customers and partners along this journey and giving them the power to innovate faster and build resilient patient-centered operations on a trusted digital foundation.”

VMware was recognized for delivering a digital foundation that helps healthcare providers boost real-time, connected care with support for any health apps, from any device with anytime access to patient health data. The study credits VMware’s top position to the breadth of its product portfolio across cloud, apps, workspace and security, empowering care teams. 

“The COVID-19 pandemic has shown healthcare organizations the importance of agility and business continuity,” said Dr. Rishi Pathak, industry principal-digital health transformation, Frost & Sullivan. “The cloud is more critical than ever in helping healthcare providers respond to the pandemic and prepare for future disruptions. VMware’s multi-cloud-focused strategy puts it in a strong position in the competitive enterprise health cloud industry to help providers and payers build resiliency and better, connected patient care.”

The Frost Radar is a robust analytical tool that evaluates companies across two key indices: their focus on continuous innovation and their ability to translate their innovations into consistent growth. Companies plotted on the Frost Radar are the leaders in the industry for growth and innovation, and instrumental in advancing the industry into the future.

Improving Patient Outcomes with Innovation

More than ever before, innovation is at the heart of healthcare. Providers, care teams, and staff are now relying heavily on digital technologies to communicate, diagnose, treat, and stand-up new services at a moment’s notice. In January, VMware found that 93% of healthcare executives reported that their organization would pursue app modernization in the first half of 2022, with “increased deployment options” named as the leading driver behind this goal.1 Cloud and modern app strategies will continue to be driven by demands for high-quality care, and organizations are moving quickly to define cloud architecture, operations, security, and processes.

The focus on innovation is also being driven by the future of work. Healthcare organizations quickly transitioned to empower and scale remote care teams and staff. And the ‘work from anywhere’ model is expected to expand this year. More than half of healthcare executives (61%) expect that their hybrid workforce will grow in 2022 and 60% are investing in infrastructure capabilities to improve remote bandwidth issues.1 Additionally, 56% of healthcare executives are devising new work models and processes to support distributed teams, and 48% are rethinking security models for their changing workforce.1

As patient care expectations continue to evolve, VMware is helping healthcare organizations increase staff and clinician flexibility, efficiency, and response along with the improving the user experience. All on a trusted digital foundation that enables more secure access to patient data and clinical health systems from any device and location.

Healthcare Leaders Power Smart, Connected Patient-Centered Care with VMware

University Hospital Essen, today the largest hub-centric hospital in Germany’s Ruhr region, employing over 10,000 people and treating more than 300,000 patients a year.

“The kind of digitalized and personalized medicine everyone is calling for today would not be possible without a partner like VMware,” said Armin de Greiff, technical director, University Hospital Essen.

University Hospital Essen leverages VMware NSX, VMware Workspace ONE and VMware Cloud Foundation with Tanzu Kubernetes to better secure its critical infrastructure and enable innovative AI-driven activities in the hospital.

Sentara is an integrated, not-for-profit system of 12 hospitals in Virginia and Northeastern North Carolina.

“Our IT team at Sentara must quickly adapt to the changing healthcare industry, while ensuring critical technologies are always available,” said Matthew Douglas, chief enterprise architect, Sentara Healthcare. “With VMware, we are able to get data where patients and doctors need it, accelerate the time to diagnosis with customized apps and secure remote work.”

One of VMware’s highest priorities in 2022 is to invest in our diverse partner ecosystem as more organizations around the world embrace the multi-cloud model.

VMware’s research shows 75% of enterprises are using two or more public clouds to run their growing number of apps, and 40% of customers are moving to three or more clouds. These customers want to innovate using the best available services from different clouds—and VMware is delivering the cloud-smart ecosystem to enable our partners to capture the multi-cloud opportunity.

We see three enormous opportunities for our partners:

We are deeply fortunate to benefit from an outstanding roster of employees and leaders who oversee the critical work of collaborating with our partners and empowering them to act as trusted advisors for our mutual customers.

I’m pleased to share that two of these leaders—Sandy Hogan and Bill Swales—have earned well-deserved recognition among CRN’s Most Influential Channel Chiefs for 2022. Sandy and Bill are fitting honorees, selected on the breadth of their professional achievements and strategies for driving channel growth and innovation.

Sandy Hogan is a CRN Top 100 Executive of 2021, member of the CRN Women of the Channel "Power 100" for 2021, and now part of the CRN 50 Most Influential Channel Chiefs list for the second consecutive year. As senior vice president for VMware’s Worldwide Partner and Commercial Organization (WPCO), Sandy drives our worldwide commercial strategic plan and revenue attainment. Sandy also leads the go-to-market strategy with VMware's global partner and distribution network. Over the course of her career, Sandy has led multiple outcome-based, go-to-market models that have transformed how organizations deliver customer for life value, achieve above-market growth, and scale their businesses. Under her leadership, WPCO has delivered a range of powerful new multi-cloud sales incentives and tools to enable outcomes as a service. Sandy is known for her “partner-first” focus and for placing the needs of our partners at the center of her focus each day.

Bill Swales has been recognized by CRN on multiple occasions for his channel leadership. He currently serves as vice president of our partner organization for the Americas (United States, Latin America, and Canada). Bill has a broad remit that includes solution providers, corporate resellers, public sector partners, OEMs, systems integrators and outsourcers, ISVs, and distributors. A fierce competitor, Bill is highly regarded by partners, peers, and team members for his deep understanding of channel and business fundamentals, combined with a data-driven, no-nonsense approach to delivering results. He is deeply committed to building a transparent and collaborative culture in which both personal and professional achievements are nurtured and recognized.

Throughout the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, VMware and our partners have continued to pivot and work together as one team to drive customer outcomes—and that is in no small part due to Sandy’s and Bill’s work. Congratulations to both for this honor.

The key to our continued success is taking advantage of the opportunities we see for partners in multi-cloud, fueled by the accelerating adoption rate of new technology, the increasing complexity of that technology, and widespread talent shortages for IT teams across all industries and segments. The expected growth in multi-cloud and application modernization in the coming years will create enormous opportunities—and VMware is uniquely positioned to capture this opportunity with partners, by helping our mutual customers unlock the full potential of multi-cloud.

Our partners play a critical role for our customers in their cloud transformation journey—and I know we will continue to deliver value to them thanks to the tireless efforts of Sandy, Bill, and their teams.
