About

I help technology vendors, distributors, and MSPs grow through ecosystem-driven strategies. With over 8 years of experience in IT research and commercial leadership, I’ve built trusted relationships across the global channel, driving multimillion-dollar SaaS growth and enabling ecosystem adoption across EMEA, APAC, and North America. My background spans end-to-end sales, channel engagement, and strategic alliances, giving me a hybrid perspective that bridges direct enterprise engagement with partner-led go-to-market models. I’ve developed and scaled new streams of market intelligence in cybersecurity, helping vendors and partners understand shifting reseller sentiment, competitive positioning, and emerging trends. Beyond my commercial role, I’m a regular speaker at international conferences and industry summits, sharing insights on market trends, ecosystem transformation, and the future of partner-led growth. I thrive on connecting ideas, people, and partners to create lasting impact in the tech industry.
