Alex Richards — Partnerships Manager
In the last year, my insights on Ecosystem-Led Growth reached over 2.3 million professionals. I believe the next decade of business growth won’t be led by ads, but through partnership ecosystems. In the last year alone, my insights on strategic partnerships and Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy reached over 2.2 million professionals and were featured by LinkedIn News. Why? Because I move past the theory and focus on the mechanics of scaling revenue through others. As an executive leader and VP, I specialize in building the "connective tissue" between organizations that unlocks predictable, exponential growth. The Track Record: 🚀 Scale: Led teams to achieve 300x quotas through partner-led sales. 💰 Exits: Strategically drove GTM for 3 successful acquisitions. 🌍 Global Reach: Expert at navigating high-growth markets in North America, LatAm, and the Middle East. 🛠 Technical Depth: Salesforce Certified Admin (SCA) & PMP—I bridge the gap between high-level strategy and operational execution. How I Help: I work with CEOs, CROs, and GTM teams to map ecosystems across Technology, SI, GSI, and Reseller channels. My focus is on industries where trust and complex journeys matter most: Financial Services (KYC), CX, and Digital Orchestration. When I’m Not Scaling Revenue: You’ll find me contributing to Partnership Leaders, the CXPA, and the Channel Focus Community, or mentoring the next generation of sales and partnership talent.
