Episerver also experienced a 30 percent hike in global cloud bookings in 2018.

Fardin, and the Episerver Digital Experience Cloud her team markets, brings a fresh, forward-looking approach to an industry accustomed to similar offerings and all-male executive teams—with women only accounting for 23 percent of C-suite members in tech. She joins Chief Information and Chief Security Officer Sue Bergamo and Chief People Officer Virginia Frazer in transforming these experiences, for everyone from employees to end-users. They are united in these efforts with colleague Karen Chastain, senior director, global alliances who, announced this week, has been recognized among the 2019 Women of the Channel by CRN, a brand of The Channel Company, for the fourth consecutive year. Chastain is instrumental in Episerver’s strategic partnership with Microsoft™ resulting in key campaigns such as Episerver’s inclusion in Microsoft Technology Centers, Episerver Digital Experience Cloud availability on Microsoft AppSource, and many other joint ventures with Microsoft and other key global alliances.
“The success Episerver has experienced over the past 25 years is not done without critical partnerships and personnel and a cutting-edge product to support them,” added Fardin. “We’re thrilled to see Karen recognized once again for her achievements in the dynamic partner ecosystem which is made even better through the authenticity and vision she brings to it.”
