About Diane Schmidt

I consult to private equity firms and software companies looking to develop partner ecosystems. After numerous requests from technology organizations and PE firms seeking guidance on best practices for channel development, I founded Redstone Channel Consulting. I am currently available on an hourly or contract basis.My career path in alliances spans over 20+ years. Most recently, I led the North American partner team managing Optimizely's digital agency and system integrator relationships. I have a consistent track record of over-quota performance leading B2B SaaS partnership teams (6 consecutive years).From recruitment to sales training, to launching impactful go-to-market programs, I’m passionate about Partner success. My team consistently surpassed sales targets. Alliances include Digital Agencies, System Integrators (SI), and other service delivery partners. I served in senior management for partner sales and alliances management in SaaS Digital Experience Platforms (DXP), eCommerce, Experimentation, Product Information Management (PIM), Web Content Management (WCM), Customer Experience Management (CXM), Enterprise Content Management (ECM), Vendor Invoice Management (VIM) and Structured Content. I earned my Bachelor's degree from Purdue University and my MBA from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Though I love all BigTen sports, I remain an avid Purdue Boilermaker fan, particularly basketball.Specialties:▸ Partner Ecosystem Consulting ▸ Channel Sales & Marketing ▸ Partner Operations ▸ Channel Programs ▸ Alliance Management ▸ Alliance Development ▸ Global System Integrators (GSI) ▸ Business Development ▸ Contract Negotiations ▸ Partner Enablement ▸ Business Planning ▸ Strategic Alliances ▸ Partner Program Development▸ Partner Certification Programs ▸ Go-To-Market Programs ▸ Partner Advisory Boards ▸ Partner Strategy ▸ Client Generation and Retention ▸ PRM Requirements ▸ PRM Selection
