About

I’m a Channel Leader and Vice President of Channel Sales & Partnerships with 10+ years of experience building and scaling high-performance partner ecosystems across MSP, VAR, Agent, and TSD channels. At Access One, I lead a national partner program focused on driving partner-sourced revenue through managed IT, cybersecurity, cloud, and communications solutions — supported by flexible engagement models and a true partner-first approach. Areas of focus and impact include: • Building and scaling channel programs that generate consistent, repeatable revenue • Driving partner activation, enablement, and upmarket expansion • Increasing partner wallet share and deal velocity through structured GTM strategies • Developing data-driven dashboards, forecasts, and performance frameworks • Recruiting, mentoring, and leading high-performing channel and marketing teams My background spans SaaS, IoT, and enterprise technology, giving me a holistic view of how to translate complex solutions into profitable partner and customer outcomes. I’m passionate about championing the channel and helping organizations build scalable, partner-led growth engines. I’m especially interested in leadership roles focused on channel strategy, go-to-market execution, and ecosystem expansion.
