Description
Summary: Developing channel alliance partners is a method of organic growth, being overlooked by businesses. I'm looking to build and execute that strategy or take your existing channel alliance program to the next level. Reading the resume below you'll notice a well-rounded technology background with consistent value-add for my partners and the business I work for. The background in managed services also provides a foundation to assist a sales team, transition from hardware to software sales in digital transformation. The career transitioned from a business technical role to sell-thru Channels at AVI-SPL in 2014. I've enjoyed success building relationships, strategies, and driving wins with the Fortune 100, through well-known 3rd party sellers. This was achieved by changing key AVI-SPL alliance partners to grow partner annual sales from $2M in 2014 to $30M in 2017 ($12M Tom's share). It was a great ride and would like to build a sell-through partner alliance program or work in one, for another Systems Integrator.
