My career spans two decades in technology as an experienced team leader across sales, marketing, and enablement functions, with demonstrated success working on both sides of strategic channel sales relationships.Most recently, my time was spent driving the success of programs that enable the Microsoft partner ecosystem, consisting of 300k partners worldwide, to build and grow their cloud practices - closing deals faster, accelerating solution deployment and app development, and driving cloud consumption.Prior to joining Microsoft, I held senior management roles responsible for corporate marketing, sales development, and strategic partner alliances for two system integrators and technology consultancies. Directly reporting to the CEO/COO in both cases, I drove brand development and pipeline growth, both organically and through partner alliances, that led to sustainable sales growth for both organizations. Managed partnerships included Microsoft Gold, Citrix Platinum, EMC Velocity, VMware Premier, and others. In 2020, I shifted from full-time tech sector work to focus on all aspects of real estate investments at Napkn LLC, a private investment partnership focused on opportunities in both real estate and early stage venture investments.
