As Stellar Cyber’s Vice President of Strategic Alliances, Andrew is responsible for accelerating and strengthening Stellar Cyber’s partner ecosystem. He is an accomplished technology industry veteran with an extensive background in leading partnership alliances, marketing, product management, and business operations for prominent enterprise software and security companies. Andrew was recognized based on the strength of Stellar Cyber’s Open Cybersecurity Alliance, a groundbreaking initiative led by Homer that streamlines security operations, improves interoperability, and enhances threat detection and response for enterprises, channel partners, and MSSPs.
“By putting partners first in 2025, we helped customers and MSSPs achieve better security outcomes through open, interoperable solutions,” said Andrew Homer, VP of Strategic Alliances at Stellar Cyber. “Security should be effective, not complex or expensive, and that focus makes this CRN Channel Chief recognition especially meaningful.”
Stellar Cyber’s unique channel strategy has enabled hundreds of MSSPs to expand their markets, unlock new revenue streams, and advance their journey to a human-augmented autonomous SOC. The Stellar Cyber Infinity Global Partner Program helps MSSPs win more deals while offering more formal training and support on its AI-driven Open XDR platform. As a result, Stellar now serves 33% of the top 250 MSSPs.
The annual CRN Channel Chiefs list spotlights the most influential leaders across the IT channel, celebrating those who champion collaboration, drive innovation, and empower their partners and customers to achieve shared success.
“Leaders recognized as CRN Channel Chiefs this year have demonstrated unwavering commitment to their partners and the broader IT channel. Their vision, passion and drive for innovation continue to shape the future of our industry. We are proud to celebrate their achievements and the positive impact they make every day,” said Jennifer Follett, Vice President, U.S. Content, Executive Editor, CRN.
