Mukesh Upadhyay
@mukeshupadhyay
I’m an affiliate & partnerships growth leader scaling SaaS ecosystems through data-led performance and creator partnerships.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Affiliate & Partnerships Growth professional with 9+ years of experience driving revenue through affiliate programs, creator partnerships, and strategic alliances across SaaS and digital products. I focus on measurable outcomes—scaling partner ecosystems and improving conversion performance through CAC, LTV, and ROI discipline.
In recent roles, I scaled 700+ affiliates and creators across global SaaS markets and delivered 20–25% QoQ growth through partner-led revenue channels. I’ve executed 250+ performance-driven partnerships across WordPress, VPS, and AI tools, structuring agreements across CPA, revenue share, and hybrid performance models.
I’m at my best when I build scalable frameworks with clear KPI tracking and tight attribution—covering conversion tracking, retention strategies, and performance dashboards. From remote Partnership Manager work to a project-based creator-led acquisition strategy for ZipWP, I consistently optimize partner segments, eliminate low-ROI channels, and grow long-term revenue.
