After I was laid off, I was fortunate to be able to complete a passion project and pursue full time employment in another industry to complete an MA licensure program. I was also able to personally support and take care of an aging and ill parent which was incredibly valuable. Currently, I have been actively looking to return to tech to keep pursuing my other passion, partner and channel marketing. At Talend, my leadership in Partner and Field Marketing has honed my expertise in multi-channel marketing and go-to-market strategies. We catalyzed significant sales growth through innovative campaigns and strategic partner engagement and a focus on driving sales alignment and pipeline expansion. I have always taken an approach which integrates comprehensive market analysis and collaborative team dynamics, and reporting to leaders to help drive the 'right' approach for the sales situation. My time as Global Channel Marketing Lead at Dropbox showcased my ability to develop scalable marketing strategies across diverse global markets, grew the partner base to achieve growth goals and launched programs, portals and products to the channel while focusing on improving communications and campaigns. I build, drove and initiated tangible results pre and post IPO for the channel team.
