About

Senior partner management and sales enablement professional — track record of driving partner-sourced pipeline across EMEA and APAC through direct SI/GSI relationships, demand generation, and the enablement programmes that help partners compete and win. At Impinj, I managed the partner programme across a 1,000+ ecosystem in EMEA and APAC — owning partner relationships, activation, and field intelligence alongside the onboarding and coaching frameworks that sustained strong partner CSAT and drove consistent growth in active deal registrations. I owned the Voice of Customer programme and led NPS-to-CSAT migration across four regions. At Finastra — a global SaaS fintech — I owned the demand generation and partner enablement supporting the co-sell motion with 6 global SI partners: account-based campaigns, partner activation programmes, and multi-channel ABM that grew partner-sourced qualified opportunities. At Nedbank, I was the regional channel owner for Wealth Management in a matrix organisation — driving revenue outcomes through cross-functional influence across Corporate Banking, Business Banking, and Insurance, without direct line authority. Same dynamic as a partner sales model. Grew digital channel sales substantially. I apply AI tools—Claude, OpenAI Codex, and Make.com — to content creation, demand generation, and process optimization. Salesforce CRM administrator. HubSpot Sales Hub certified. MindTickle, Docebo, and Credly experienced across global teams. Drawn to high-growth environments where the GTM motion and partner programmes still need building — and where enablement is treated as a strategic lever, not a support function.
