CRN Names Infinidat’s Mitch Diodato as a 2026 Channel Chief

Infinidat, a leading provider of enterprise storage solutions, today announced that CRN® − a brand of The Channel Company − has selected Mitch Diodato, Senior Director, Global Channel Sales at Infinidat, for inclusion on the prestigious 2026 CRN® Channel Chiefs list. This recognition is the third time that Diodato has been named a CRN Channel Chief in his career. This year's list celebrates top IT executives who are shaping channel strategy, building a robust channel ecosystem, and driving innovation and partnership across the industry.

Diodato has more than three decades of experience and proven success in the storage industry, serving as a leader entrusted with responsibilities in channel sales. Prior to joining Infinidat in 2018, he worked for 12 years at Arrow ECS in multiple roles, including national sales director and regional sales director. Before Arrow, he worked for four years as director of storage marketing and sales at Agilysys Corporation, and previously as a product manager of storage for seven years at Avnet Technology Solutions. Diodato was named a CRN Channel Chief in 2019 and, again, in 2023.

"Being named a CRN Channel Chief for the third time in seven years is a special honor that I share with our global North American and Global partner community who make selling Infinidat's world-class enterprise storage solutions an exciting endeavor," said Diodato. "Channel partners are at the core of what we do as a leading provider of enterprise storage, and we put our partners in a position to win. Our partners are energized, focused, and resourceful. 2026 will be a great year for Infinidat's channel partners."
