Kevin Lancaster

CEO and co-founder of Channel Program, a truly accessible, democratized platform purpose-built to unify IT Channel industry.

A serial entrepreneur, Kevin’s love for starting and building businesses began as a student when he talked his way into a part-time job at the Dingman Center for Entrepreneurship at the University of Maryland.

Since then, Kevin has built several industry-leading technology and consulting firms, including the fastest-growing, channel-focused, cyber security software vendor, ID Agent. He has built channel programs that have generated more than $5 billion in revenue across both the commercial and public sectors and is a leading authority on cyber security, technology innovation, startup acceleration, and channel program development.

His passion for supporting the underdog, creating meaningful partnerships, and making space for a diversity of voices is what fuels his work at Channel Program. Kevin has an unrelenting drive to revolutionize the IT channel by empowering and inspiring both Vendors and IT service providers to focus on community-building, collaboration and respectful communication–a formula Kevin believes will lead to greater success and health for the channel as a whole, and for its thousands of partners.

Kevin was named to the Top 25 Software Sales Executives by The Software Report (2021), was recognized as SmartCEO’s Future 50 and “5 on Fire,” and was listed four times on the Inc. 5000 (#2265, #801 #710, #260).
