As the Head of Alliances, Success and Deliveryat Marketplacer, I hold a multifaceted role driving both customer-centricity and strategic partnerships. Leading a global team, I champion customer satisfaction while spearheading the establishment of Marketplacer's alliance strategy, accelerating a partner-centric business model. This involves cultivating key partnerships with industry leaders significantly expanding our market presence and scalability.

Marketplacer is a global SaaS platform that supercharges eCommerce through building successful and scalable curated marketplaces and range extension programs online.I joined Marketplacer to orchestrate the conception and execution of our global partner strategy and team, driving a pivotal shift from direct-sales to a partner-centric model. Leading a team of nine professionals I forged key partnerships with industry leaders like Salesforce and Adobe, and key partners like Acccenture and Deloitte. My role extends to strategic decision-making at the executive level, presenting expansion proposals to the CEO and Board. I've also built and nurtured a cohesive global partnerships team from the ground up, establishing comprehensive partner programs and driving successful joint marketing initiatives.

I led the Salesforce Commerce Cloud business across Asia Pacific, helping our customers to realize value from Salesforce's market-leading, SaaS-delivered, B2C & B2B eCommerce platform. I created the Go-To-Market strategy to cement their leading position in ANZ, whilst tripling the ASEAN team and successfully launching and rapidly growing Commerce Cloud in India. My guiding light was to listen to and be guided by our customers, build mutual success with our partners and create the best & most engaged SaaS sales team in APAC.

Watson Customer Engagement was IBM’s Digital Applications Business Unit that created AI Infused SaaS and on-premise software solutions in Commerce, Order Management, Marketing Automation, Digital Experience & Supply Chain. I led all aspects of this 80-person business across Asia Pacific, including sales, services, customer success, business partner development, recruitment, marketing and operations.

IBM gave me the opportunity to lead and inspire sales teams through numerous roles in Australia/New Zealand, South East Asia and across the Asia Pacific Region. My experience comes from working with clients on business applications around eCommerce, Marketing Automation, Customer Analytics, Web Technologies, Collaboration, Smarter Cities, and Supply Chain. My journey took me to Singapore for over 5 years where I got to lead IBM's overall SaaS business and then back in Melbourne leading the Asia Pacific Region for Watson Customer Engagement. Thanks IBM for a fantastic journey!

Everyone needs to do a start up and Platform 3 was mine. My partners Mark Johnstone, Matt Harris & I had a ball building this highly successful hospitality business in one of the world's most competitive markets, Melbourne Australia. We sold the business when I moved to Singapore after almost 5 years of profitable trading and a whole lot of fun building an amazing team. It was a great learning exchange between myself and my partners and a terrific balancing experience to my everyday in the corporate world .

It was great fun to be involved in the early days of eCommerce and Web Solutions with an amazing team at Fujitsu. We did some ground breaking work partnering with Microsoft and others and I learnt a lot from a great bunch of professionals about how to deliver value to customers with software solutions.

I could not have asked for a better proving ground to learn IT Solutions than the crazy team at State Computers/Volante. They taught me an awful lot about how to operate as an IT professional and how to build customer success and not just make sales. Many of the working relationships I forged at Volante endure to this day from both customers and former colleagues. A big part of where I am today is due to the patience and mentoring I received while at Volante.
