SAP Pinnacle Award for 2023
In my two years of leading the Global SAP partnership - we grew from $ 3 million in joint ACV revenue to $ 12 million. Over the last fiscal year, in my position, we had 298% YoY growth. In 2022, I led us to be the top SAP AppStore partner out of all LoBs. What a year!
Outside of SAP, I managed our top implementation partner - Blue Crab Consulting. As well as managing other boutiques and up-and-coming partnerships.
My partners contributed the largest % of partner revenue to Eightfold year after year, and they grew at exponential rates. While building pipeline and driving revenue was a large part of my role, I also ran several projects with SAP across, Customer Success, Services, Product, Marketing, GTM, GSI-play, etc.

Global Channel Business Manager

Oct 2018 – Mar 2022 · 3 yrs 5 mos

In this position, I built out and expanded the SAP/SAP SuccessFactors relationship. Grew partner revenue by over 100% YOY from 2019-2020 and created more than $20million in the pipeline through building out strategic partnerships. From Account Executives to C-level Executive, I am regularly engaged and creating not only a brand awareness for Eightfold but also for myself. On any given day you will find me presenting to a SuccessFactors team, building out a strategic plan to build revenue in EMEA, hosting a joint webinar, having one-on-ones with partner Executives, to doing account planning internally.
