IT Hall of Fame Welcomes Bob Stegner

As the son of a small-business owner, Bob Stegner knows full well the trials and tribulations it takes for SMBs to be successful. In many cases, he’s lived them.

“I’ve heard all the horror stories from my dad. One time he came home and said to my mom, ‘Mary Lou, I’ve got good news and bad news. The good news is we made payroll this week. The bad news is we’re not on it,’” Stegner said.

Those experiences stuck with him and served as a foundation of knowledge that’s helped carry him through a 30-year career in the tech channel, with major stops along the way at Sarcom (now part of Insight Enterprises), Ingram Micro, and SYNNEX. Now, those three decades inspiration and perspiration have culminated in Stegner’s induction into the IT Hall of Fame, an honor bestowed at ChannelCon Online.

Todd Thibodeaux, CompTIA CEO, noted that IT Hall of Fame inductees have typically been elected as pioneers, innovators or leadership. Stegner, he said, exemplifies all three traits.

“He’s been a pioneer, bringing a sharp focus to the SMB market. He’s been an innovator of new and creative sales and marketing strategies. And he’s been a leader and a mentor to thousands of individuals and companies. Thank you Bob and congratulations on being elected to the IT Hall of Fame,” Thibodeaux said in an acceptance video played during ChannelCon Online.
