AI, Personal Brand and EQ: 
The A Team 

AI is enhancing our efficiency, it’s time to rethink how we invest our time and focus on our career growth! 
This is what we discussed last week with the members of the LAYA - Lead As You Are  group and Ryan O'Keeffe  personal branding expert.

As we leverage technology to streamline tasks, we must prioritize our personal brand and our visibility.

But here’s the kicker: Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is a **key driver** in shaping that brand. It’s not just about what you know; it’s about how you connect, communicate, and understand others more than ever. 

In a world increasingly influenced by AI, EQ will play a pivotal role in helping us stand out,build  trust, and foster authentic relationships.

The account-based marketing consultancy transforming how sales and marketing teams grow their most valuable customers. I was a board member and led the client team in the London office creating and managing programs with real commercial impact for the best tech companies globally. Companies like Microsoft, SAP, Oracle, Amazon, Google and many more.

Group Business Director

Sage

I was responsible for the strategy, planning, development, execution and measurement of channel and alliance marketing programs that accelerate the Sage growth strategy and drive incremental revenue through the channel. I worked closely with partners and alliances business leaders, product marketing and the demand generation team to define global, joint go-to-market strategy with top-tier alliances, resellers, independent software vendors, SIs, service provider partners, accountants and other technology partners.

Working with the regional and local channel teams and the partner segment marketing directors, I built and executed marketing plans that supported the regional and partner segments on a global and regional and basis, as both a strategist and a hands-on participant, creating innovative co-marketing programs and executing effective marketing activities.

VP, Partner Marketing, Worldwide

I was responsible for creating pan-EMEA marketing campaigns with our focused partners and strategic alliances across EMEA. Working with field and channel sales and business development teams, I supported and drove partner programmes, impacting on overall sales growth and pipeline for Palo Alto and partners alike. I ensured that corporate programmes had an EMEA focus and worked for channel partners, as well as ensuring alignment with EMEA segment managers, product marketing and global programmes.

EMEA Partner Marketing Director

The IT Marketing Agency

The IT Marketing Agency are experts in marketing for technology businesses.

Technology drives innovation - in business and in life. You need to do more than simply keep up.

The ITMA helped channel players reach and connect with their audience, whether end users, partners or resellers. Understanding the complexities of technology marketing, via the channel or direct to the end user, and the need for simplicity in not only delivery, but reporting too. Proving ROI matters!

From strategic input to tactical delivery and brilliant execution across all marketing channels, ITMA enabled the best return on investment on your technology marketing spend.

Managing Director

Cyance Ltd

As Channel Marketing Director of Cyance I worked across the channel with vendors, resellers and partner organisations, developing best practice, creating marketing strategy and executing multi channel campaigns.

Cyance used a blend of channels such as email, digital, social, multi-lingual telemarketing and mobile to give clients a way to build impactful, engaging and relevant dialogues with their prospects and customers (end user and channel), all the way through the buying cycle: from initial prospect identification through first contact and then ongoing lead nurturing – right up the point of sale.

Channel Marketing Director

NBG Ltd - Network Buying Group

As the Head of Marketing for Network Buying Group, I'm working with the MD and Exec to introduce a comprehensive, multi-channel marketing strategy for the group for 2011. This will see us working closely with vendors to deliver marketing plans that meet their goals and objectives and deliver leads and sales to group members, thereby also giving a fantastic return on investment for both.

Head of Marketing

Ingram Micro

I managed in the in-house marketing team which consisted of 14 full time staff including the inhouse production team which I put in place as part of a departmental restructure. In my time at Ingram I not only developed some great channel relationships but grew the profit of the division by almost 25% over the recession. I was also instrumental in putting together key channel campaigns and initiatives which helped to drive innovation, reseller recruitment and fantastic ROI.

Menorca Gold Ltd

My parents, who are based on Menorca run Menorca Gold, a small family business that offers holidays in private villas and apartments on Menorca.
