Cherry Hill, New Jersey (June 11, 2025) – Consortium, the premier cybersecurity concierge and Next Generation Value-Added Reseller (NGVAR), today announced it is the first CrowdStrike partner in the U.S. to achieve certified Champion Expert status.
Awarded at an exclusive hands-on training and accreditation event hosted by CrowdStrike in New York, this recognition reflects Consortium’s deep technical expertise and demonstrated success to drive adoption of the CrowdStrike Falcon® cybersecurity platform for enterprise clients.

A CrowdStrike partner since 2016, Consortium has consistently helped customers adopt, deploy and scale the Falcon platform. With the CrowdStrike certified Champion Expert accreditation, Consortium can now deliver exclusive Proof-of-Value engagements, Identity Security Risk Reviews (ISRRs) and targeted sales plays that accelerate successful customer outcomes.
“This recognition is more than a certification, it’s validation of our capabilities and leadership as a Next Generation VAR in cybersecurity,” said Andrew Barnett, chief technology officer at Consortium. “Having certified Champion Experts on our team highlights our technical and strategic alignment with CrowdStrike and reinforces our commitment to empowering clients to innovate securely in a rapidly evolving threat landscape.”
“Consortium continues to demonstrate strong technical expertise and a focus on delivering meaningful outcomes built on the Falcon platform,” said Amanda Adams, vice president of Americas alliances at CrowdStrike. “Their Champion Expert accreditation reflects a commitment to helping customers get the most from their cybersecurity investments. Our partners are essential to driving customer success with the Falcon platform, and this milestone highlights the value of skilled, outcome-driven partner engagement.”
