Channel’s CRN Magazine
Sacramento, CA, August 26, 2010 –
Quest, a technology management firm, announced the
organization has been named to the inaugural Diverse 100
list by Everything Channel’s CRN Magazine.
Quest is 60%
woman-owned and is a diverse company which employs people of
all walks of life including students and people of
retirement age, veterans, and all ethnicities. According to
Tim Burke, Quest’s President and CEO, “Quest seeks to hire
the best people for the job; those who are smart and capable
and see the client as ‘king’, regardless of the employee’s
background.”
The Diverse 100 list focuses on solution
provider organizations that have a founder, CEO or president
that is a member of a recognized minority group. The Diverse
100 are ranked by revenue and include women, disabled
individuals, veterans and Americans of Asian, African and
Hispanic decent.
"CRN recognizes that successful
organizations embrace diversity. A philosophy of inclusion
is good for companies and for the industry at large. With
this inaugural project we will highlight the benefits and
best practices VARs can glean from creating a diverse
workforce and showcase some of the leading minority-led
solution providers in the market today," said Kelley Damore,
VP, Editorial Director, Everything Channel.
The August issue
of CRN Magazine features the Diverse 100 and will be
available online at www.crn.com.
