What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead channel and partner growth where I can own GTM execution, partner activation/enablement, co-selling/co-marketing, and revenue optimization across SaaS and cloud—building ecosystems that drive renewals, retention, and measurable ARR.

I’m a Channel Sales Manager and Partner Growth Leader with 20+ years driving revenue expansion, partner success, and channel ecosystem growth across SaaS, cloud, and tech. I scale ISV, VAR, SI, MSP, and Alliance partnerships through high-impact GTM strategies and partner enablement frameworks that consistently increase partner-sourced pipeline and deal velocity.

In my current role, I develop and execute go-to-market strategies, improve partner activation, and lead co-marketing and joint GTM campaigns—supporting $7.34M ARR contribution and an ISV partnership generating $4M ARR. I also leverage Salesforce to track opportunities, manage RFPs, forecast accurately, and optimize partner performance, while mentoring teams to strengthen channel excellence and customer success outcomes.
