Delivering exceptional value through strategic partnerships has always been my passion, and I am committed to collaborating with professional associations to expand training and certification programs, enhance member engagement, and drive growth through innovative certification and training programs. As Vice President of Business Development and Strategic Partnerships at Holmes Corporation, I have had the privilege of leading initiatives that align with our mission to help professionals advance their careers through globally recognized certifications. With over two decades of experience in business development, I have developed a deep understanding of the challenges associations face in delivering relevant, impactful learning solutions to their members. With that focus, I partner with organizations to identify new market opportunities, tailor educational offerings to meet their specific needs, and provide them with the resources necessary to succeed. Through these collaborations, I help associations position themselves as leaders in their industry while enhancing their members' professional growth. During my tenure with Holmes Corp, I have led key partnerships that have generated as much as $38M in lifetime revenue, delivering exponential ROI and creating long-term value for our partners. One of the highlights of my career has been increasing certification rates by nearly 40% within 14 months through engagements that are not just transactional but transformational, resulting in growth to 75% market share in North America and expansion of new partner initiatives internationally to over 207 countries. From contract negotiations to product launches and ongoing collaboration, I take a hands-on approach to key partnerships and strategic alliances, ensuring seamless execution and mutual success.I believe the most successful partnerships are built on trust, collaboration, and shared vision. I welcome the opportunity to explore how we can work together to expand your organization’s reach, achieve your strategic objectives, and develop a lasting partnership that delivers meaningful and measurable results.
