It takes a village—not only to raise a child but to help customers with their digital transformation. As the Managing Director of Strategic Partners at NetApp, it is my pleasure to be part of this village. Specifically, I help Global System Integrators help their customers set and execute strategies that will transform their business. The future of business today depends upon successful digital transformation. Digital transformation involves many moving parts, including products, services and consultants and doing it effectively requires the right partner ecosystem. A successful digital transformation will help customers remain competitive in the market and efficient in their production. What strength do I bring to the village? I offer my years of experience, working with partners to orchestrate transformation and achieve success for customers. I am a strategic and big picture thinker but am equally comfortable digging down into individual parts of the strategy to define what’s needed for execution. I am invested in the two levels of value that our team at NetApp can deliver. There is the value to our partners – helping them differentiate and win against their competitors. With a strong emphasis on partner experience, we work with partners to create new business, forge a solid footprint, and expand their business with repeatable solutions.There is also the value we bring to the end customer who gets the strength of our partner ecosystem to help meet their business goals. Businesses around the globe are being forced to adapt to a new way of life, new ways of working, and new ways of conducting business. Agility, flexibility and resilience will distinguish the leaders. Together, we work with our partners to start anywhere and go anywhere as quickly as their business requires.Every business is looking to transform and together we can make that happen. Let’s talk about what our village can achieve together.
