People I’ve worked with

Three former managers and a colleague, in their own words.

“He took on the Southern European market for us in the SMB space, and essentially built the channel from scratch. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.”

Concept: Partner Growth Engine

For every role I go after, I build a short plan for that company's channel from its public information and pricing. This is the template.

It covers three things: the first 90 days, how the channel's contribution gets measured, and what partners sell with. The numbers below are examples, not company data.

01 · The first 90 days

Days 1–30

Diagnose and design

  • Sort existing partners: invest, revive or close
  • Ask AEs and recent customers who advised them
  • Named target list for each segment
  • Commercial model v1: tiers, rebates, deal registration
  • Sourced and fulfilled pipeline tracked in the CRM
Days 31–60

Recruit and enable

  • Outbound partner recruitment in priority segments
  • Sales certification and partner kit live
  • First partner roundtable
  • First co-selling on live deals
Days 61–90

Activate and measure

  • First partner-sourced opportunities
  • Monthly channel forecast, reported like sales
  • First business reviews with active partners
  • Tiers tuned with real data

02 · Channel pipeline, reported like a forecast

Sourced

Partner-sourced pipeline

Deals the partner brings in. New business the channel creates on its own.

Fulfilled

Partner-fulfilled pipeline

Deals where the partner delivers part of the service. The value partners add beyond the referral.

03 · Partner earnings calculator

Partner earns in year one
Plus year two
Value referred
Commission rates are placeholders that show the mechanics. In each application they run on the company's public prices.

Shipped features

A plan needs tools people actually use. Here is what I build.

01 · Partner activation

Give the first 45 days a job.

A signed agreement is just the start. I built an activation method around a repeatable use case, certification and the steps towards a partner's first pipeline.

02 · Commercial tools

Make the deal easier to work out.

I build pricing and earnings calculators that show margins by tier and what a partner earns per deal, plus collateral tailored to each partner's business.

03 · AI in practice

Build it. Put it to work.

This site is one example. I also use AI to build partner portal prototypes and reusable workflows for company research and partner plans. Tools I use in the job.

Employer tools stay private. I can talk you through the approach on a call.

What could we build with your team?

If you need someone to build your partner channel or take it into new markets, let's talk. Bring the role and the challenge. I'll bring a few questions.
