As a seasoned professional in channel partner and reseller management, I held the position of managing and supporting Global Solution Provider partners (resellers) and Distributors to drive their success with AWS. Through comprehensive enablement plans and programs, I've played a pivotal role in aiding partners in developing and delivering their AWS Go To Market (GTM) strategies on a global scale. This involved managing and delivering partner incentives and enablement to ensure their success in the AWS ecosystem.One of my key accomplishments includes spearheading the successful execution of a multi-million-dollar global MDF (Market Development Funds) program for all AWS Distributors. This initiative significantly expanded the availability of AWS Cloud Services worldwide, contributing to the growth and adoption of cloud technology on a global scale.I orchestrated the global Channel reseller Partner and Distributor events at annual AWS sales event, re:Invent. I created the agenda, delivered the recruitment strategy, and owned the executive keynotes. These projects included all content creation in collaboration with multiple internal teams based on agenda topics. These events delivered a +4/5 CSAT from all attendees. I excel at fostering collaborative relationships by developing joint marketing plans and facilitating monthly business reviews with both internal teams and external stakeholders. Leveraging tools such as Salesforce, I've implemented CRM management systems and detailed global reporting mechanisms to drive informed decision-making during monthly and quarterly business reviews.
