At Ramp I have led the strategy, launch, and scaling of the Accounting Partner Channel - a 10x growth channel in one of history's fastest growing startups. I've built a team of world-class talent that deeply understands the accounting industry, builds trusted relationships with accountants, and identifies ways Ramp can support firm's goals as a strategic technology partner. We are building a community of accountants around Ramp who are passionate about new technologies and the opportunities they provide the accounting profession. We are championing growth for an Accountant Channel at a speed that has never been accomplished before. Formerly, as an Enterprise Account Director at Xero, I helped lead the growth of Xero's United States accounting partner channel by sourcing, developing, and closing strategic partnerships with the largest accounting firms in the United States - including closing the largest deal (by subscription commitment count) in Xero history. In my nearly 8 years at Xero I was consistently ranked as a #1 performer, and have extensive experience helping build PDR, Account Management, Account Executive, and Enterprise functions serving accounting firms. This is where I developed my passion for introducing firms to new technologies and workflows, and guiding them through the journey of implementation and change management. My fulfillment comes when I see my accounting partners delivering higher value services to the clients they serve, which contributes to the success and longevity of these businesses, and positively impacts economic growth. We all win together.I am driven by the pursuit of learning, am a natural leader and collaborator, and am deeply invested in the success of those around me.I am currently seeking connections, advice, and partnerships in accounting, software, and startups.
