What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles leading alliances or partner-led GTM where I can drive strategic partnerships, revenue growth, and scale repeatable programs.

I am a seasoned technology alliances and sales leader with a proven track record of driving partner-led growth and consistently exceeding revenue targets across global enterprises.

Over a 30+ year career, I built and scaled alliance programs and business development organizations at HP, Accenture, Cognizant and as an independent principal, generating multi-billion dollar pipelines and leading profitable business units.

I excel at executive engagement, go-to-market strategy, complex negotiations, and P&L management, with major wins at Fortune 500 accounts across Life Sciences, Healthcare, Financial Services and Retail.

I am an outcomes-driven coach and collaborator who enables AI-first and cloud transformations, aligns cross-functional stakeholders, and delivers repeatable, measurable growth through partner ecosystems.
