In his current role, Castillo works closely with key partners, addresses supply chain and credit issues, and identifies the correct mix of products to exceed customers’ expectations. Despite worldwide challenges following the pandemic, Castillo forecasted robotic solutions needed to minimize supply chain disturbances and leveraged virtual meetings to maintain strong relationships with partners to deliver the same care and dedication they would have normally seen face-to-face.
“Being recognized as a CRN Channel Chief is a testament to the importance we put into prioritizing our channel partners and fostering our relationships,” said Castillo. “We make it a point to listen to our partners’ evolving needs, and in response, offered innovative but easy to implement automation solutions to meet their customers’ business needs.”
