I build scalable partner ecosystems to drive channel revenue partnerships.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Partner ecosystem executive who builds partner and channel functions from scratch—bringing structure to emerging ecosystems and professionalising partner programmes that outgrew informal origins. I cover the full lifecycle from partner acquisition, scorecard-based tiering, and commercial structuring through enablement, co-sell execution, and long-term partner success across B2B and B2G markets in EMEA.
My track record includes USD 1.5M partner-influenced ARR at 150% attainment while building Go1’s EMEA partner ecosystem from zero, plus multi-million commercial ecosystems such as Motorola’s umbrella agreement for 65,000 devices and GoodHabitz’s transformation of a 60+ partner network into a structured, tiered programme. I enjoy the intersection of partner management, strategic sales, and solution consulting—trusted relationships with partners and enterprise buyers become the foundation for long-term, scalable commercial partnerships.
