Asia Pacific — Crayon, a global leader in IT services and innovation, today announced it has been named APAC’s Distributor of the Year in the 2025 Wasabi Partner Network Awards. The awards acknowledge partners that help customers adopt cloud technology in practical, high-impact ways.
The Distributor of the Year Award recognizes year-on-year growth and the strength of a distributor’s partnership with Wasabi in APAC. In 2025, Crayon stood out for its Distribution, Done Differently approach. Crayon goes beyond transactions to help partners and customers get real value from their technology investments. It works with vendors that share its partner-first mindset and back this with deep technical expertise, so partners and customers can rely on Crayon as an extension of their teams, not just a distributor.
“Being recognized by Wasabi reinforces the value of our Distribution, Done Differently approach,” said Rhonda Robati, EVP APAC at Crayon. “It reflects the work our teams do every day to support customers with hands-on expertise, strong vendor relationships, and a clear focus on outcomes. As we transition into SoftwareOne, we will carry this approach forward and continue to serve our partners with broader capabilities and deeper support in the region.”
