Chief Privacy and Regulatory Office Customer Experience Program Lead

DataOps.live

I have become Chief Partner Officer to better denote the focus and scope of my role within our company and also to better align to our organizational strategy to have partnership focus as a primary driver of our corporate strategy requiring input and alignment into each department and across all functional departments.  This represents who we are at DataOps.live as a business.

In addition to this, I will retain my Executive Vice President role focused on strategic business and partner channels to drive indirect and other sales initiatives with partners. This was no better realized than with our sale of the Snowflake Solution Center (SSC) project to Snowflake as our customer, with my leadership owning the prime commercial agreement and business development process.  Much more to come there and also with other strategic partnerships in FY'25.

Vice President Global Alliances & Partner Sales Channels

Sisense

** We successfully exited Periscope Data via merger into Sisense, creating the world's largest independent cloud agnostic BI and data analytics platform Unicorn**

Post merger at Sisense, I evolved into an expanded role to lead Global Strategic Partner Sales Channels based in our New York HQ. My focus is on leading all global channels for strategic partner sales (GSi alignment & influence in our prime accounts), with GTM solutioning focus on AWS, Azure, GCP & Snowflake. My team also owns all partner revenue within the Americas, comprised of reseller channels, referral partners and data consultancies. 

Our Unified Data Platform is the industry’s first to address the complete analytics lifecycle, allowing data teams to ingest, store, analyze, visualize and report on data all from one connected platform.

My focus was the advancement of Snowflake & AWS partnerships, development of GSi & regional data consultant partner channels, strategic funding and M&A support, and other executive and corporate development as requested.  Several months into my engagement we began serious conversations with various firms regarding acquisition and concluded with Sisense in mid May 2019.

Collibra

I lead the Collibra global alliances & partner channel sales group, as a part of global sales organization and senior leadership team. Our partner channels provide us the scale and strength to achieve record breaking growth, culminating in Unicorn status in our latest funding round by CapitalG.

The alliance & partner ecosystem of Collibra is unmatched, and a core differentiator and strength of our company.  No other competitor has a technology platform that is so extensible and supportive to existing customer investments, and equally aligned to allow you the best-of-breed choice of strategy, advisory or implementation partners.

Our team enables and supports all of our alliance members, partners (consulting, integration, technology & GSi strategy/advisory firms) and resellers on a worldwide basis. This is done through our partner program for scale, as well as through individual touch by partner account managers in our core selling regions (North America and Europe) to drive joint revenue.  We also enable & manage our channel network of reseller partners & GSI's in Asia/Pac, Middle East, South Africa, and Latin America who provide Collibra solutions to their own customers.

VP Global Channel Development & Partner Sales 

Leadership, execution and results delivered with a smile and great enthusiasm!

"Enthusiasm is the mother of effort, and without it nothing great was ever achieved." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

I have a primary interest in bringing new companies, technology & products to market and unleashing their potential value through direct, indirect and strategic channels. I innovate with the best. I'm talking about revenue and growth execution with strategically aligned global partner and channel scale.

I am not an empty suit, I am a hands on leader by example who drives the team and company to higher places. Great for your culture and your balance sheet!  My daily drive is to be the best contributor to corporate value in the company, but my usual form is to elevate others to stand on my shoulders to achieve as a team.

I have led management teams and sales (P&L) organizations that controlled over $1 Billion in assets and $250 Million in revenues as well as pre-revenue startups in early formation. (Nothing is harder than getting your first $50,000 dollars in revenue!)  

I've been an integral part of growing revenues from $0 to $5m to $250m, $500m+, and growing ARR from sub 20m to over $120m+.  I led Collibra's global partner channels from $20m to Unicorn valuation in less than 2.5 years, supported Periscope Data through the Sisense acquisition, then launched Okera to great success & exit. In all cases, my strategic relationship  with Snowflake was of paramount focus and key achievement.  This experience further led to me joining the executive team of DataOps.live where our Snowflake partnership, investment and global ecosystem strength is a key differentiator.

Perhaps best known for my early career, being one of a vocal handful who believed in the Citrix computing vision in their early formation. After many years  as a cornerstone integrator & strategic partner, I then joined Citrix to launch a new internet business division focused on the birth of the Application Service Provision marketplace. What a ride... CTXS (Nasdaq 50)

I founded #fasterFUSE in 2016 to provide tech companies around the globe with access to my personal experience, leadership & worldwide network to grow their strategic opportunities. This allows me to  leverage my sales & business development, M&A, strategic alliances, channel development, innovation & global go-to-market leadership experience to companies who need the assistance. I love helping others accelerate their path to success!

Every day I look to improve. Hard work without results doesn't cut it. Execution is everything!
