Partner Success Manager at Sparrow who scaled its credit union base from 68 to ~190 and cut onboarding effort by 90%.
What I'm looking for
At Sparrow, I built and scaled partner success programs for its marketing platform, supporting partners from onboarding through activation. I helped grow the partner base from 68 to ~190 credit unions and the book of business from $800K to $3.4M ARR.
I created onboarding frameworks and implementation playbooks at Sparrow, cutting onboarding operational effort by 90% and improving partner time-to-value by 18%. Partner discovery and feedback loops also shaped Sparrow's pricing model and the GTM foundation for monetizing partner email.
At Thoropass and Red Points, I improved onboarding and customer outcomes, including piloting a copyright video protection offering that generated $144k ARR in its first year at Red Points. I’m looking to bring my experience to an established organization where I can work at greater scale, learn from mature teams, and deepen my strategic impact.
