Matthew Gray — CEO
Most partnerships programs are elaborate relationship management exercises. The ones that actually move revenue look completely different. I've spent 20 years learning the difference. As Head of GTM Partnerships at Postman, I lead the ecosystem strategy that connects the world's leading API platform to its highest-value partners - from hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, GCP) to global systems integrators, technology partners, and channel networks. Before Postman: MuleSoft, New Relic, Boomi, Tealium. Across those roles, I've led multinational teams that sourced over $500M in pipeline and drove $1B+ in partner-influenced, co-sold, and fulfilled revenue. But the number I think about most isn't revenue. It's leverage. The best partnerships programs I've seen don't just generate influenced pipeline - they fundamentally change the unit economics of growth. They make your direct sales team faster. They put you in rooms you couldn't get to alone. They turn your best partners into your best salespeople. Most programs don't do that. They do logo slaps and QBRs. I write about the difference — specifically: • How to build co-sell motions with hyperscalers that actually close, not just influence • What ecosystem-led growth looks like when it's working at scale • How AI is changing the partnership model (and which old playbooks are dead) • The organisational and revenue dynamics that make or break a partnerships function If you're a CRO, Partnerships leader, or executive thinking about how to get more from your ecosystem - follow along. And if you're building something in the API or AI infrastructure space, I'm always open to connecting with the right people.
