LOS ANGELES, May 8, 2023 — Mission Cloud, a cloud managed services provider and Amazon Web Services (AWS) Premier Tier Services Partner, announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Elena Shorb, Vice President of Channels & Alliances, as a 2023 Women of the Channel Power 80 Solution Provider — a subset of prominent executives selected from the CRN 2023 Women of the Channel list.
The CRN 2023 Women of the Channel honorees bring their creativity, strategic thinking, and leadership to bear, turning their unique talents toward driving success for their customers and technology partners. The annual Power 80 Solution Provider list honors the most influential women in leadership at some of the country’s most prominent solution providers, based on their remarkable expertise, channel advocacy, and contributions to building solution provider businesses that thrive.
“To be recognized as a prominent executive in the 2023 Women of the Channel is truly an honor and I can’t express my gratitude enough to my colleagues at Mission Cloud, AWS and CRN,” said Shorb. “I am grateful for the opportunities to work with our customers and technology partners, and to collaborate with other exceptional women in the cloud channel community.

The women who populate the Power 80 Solution Provider list have gone above and beyond with their extraordinary commitment to the IT channel community, implementing strategies that have accelerated the success of their customers and technology partners—and the broader channel ecosystem as a result.
Shorb brings over eight years of Channel Sales experience to her role in leading Mission Cloud's strategic partnership with Amazon Web Services and their key ISV Partners. She comes from G2 Tech Group, one of the Advanced Consulting Partners that merged to form Mission Cloud Services in 2017. Through her roles at G2 and Mission Cloud, Shorb has been an instrumental member of the AWS Partner Ecosystem since its launch and has grown and developed Mission Cloud's partnership to align with the AWS program.
Shorb’s key accomplishments over the past year include:
