2025 TechChannel Rising Stars Nominations Now Open
The program, created to recognize-up-and coming talent on IBM Z and Power platforms, is entering its fifth year

The nomination form for the 2025 TechChannel Rising Stars program is now open.
Rising Stars is TechChannel’s annual initiative recognizing those who have worked in the IBM Z or Power Systems ecosystems for five years or fewer but are already making a significant impact on their organizations or the platform they work on.
Rising Stars is about recognizing those who are not only learning and growing, but demonstrating professional excellence while doing so, Laticia Carrow, a 2022 Rising Star, explains. “This person is a true team player willing to do what is necessary and beyond to ensure the mission is satisfied for all parties involved,” Carrow says.
If this sounds like someone you know, nominate them to be a 2025 Rising Star today. The deadline to nominate Rising Stars is Oct. 8.
