Channel sales leader driving growth through strategic cybersecurity and SaaS partnerships.

What I'm looking for

Seeking a channel role at a fast-growing company, ideally in cybersecurity or emerging tech, to build and scale partner ecosystems. I specialize in full partner lifecycle management and am also open to account management roles focused on strategic growth, relationship-building, and collaboration.

I'm a channel sales leader with deep experience building and scaling partner ecosystems across cybersecurity, cloud, and SaaS. I specialize in driving revenue growth through strategic partnerships with MSPs, MSSPs, VARs, and alliances. I thrive in fast-paced, high-growth environments and am passionate about bringing emerging technologies to market through collaborative go-to-market strategies and full partner lifecycle management. Remote-ready and results-driven, I focus on enabling partners, shortening sales cycles, and building programs that deliver long-term value.
