This involves developing a deep understanding of technology solutions in the financial services industry to define how AWS and ISV partners can mutually grow revenue. ISV partnerships include technologies from global technology providers to FinTech startup organizations who are engaged with the largest financial services institutions worldwide.

Created and executed the strategy and organization to accelerate the delivery of ISV partner solutions into public sector markets. The organization included three teams (Security & Compliance Acceleration, National Security and Defense Acceleration, and Machine Learning/Artificial Technology Adoption) who worked with ISV partners globally to help them overcome technical and business obstacles that delay solution sales, such as achievement of FedRAMP authorization. Responsibilities included hiring and development of the management team and supporting the development of their teams, creation and delivery of scalable partner programs, executing event and marketing initiatives with partners, managing business reporting and reviews, managing a strong opportunity pipeline, and supporting the closure and delivery of large customer opportunities. Success was measured by successful launch and delivery of programs, total ISV wins, and overall influenced revenue.
