Partner Marketing @ Zapier ⚡️

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

About

I work in partner GTM and enablement at Zapier. Day to day, that means designing the lifecycles, playbooks, and field readiness that get partnerships from “on paper” to driving real adoption. Currently across Meta, Google, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Yelp under the Powered by Zapier program. In this role, I also build with AI as infrastructure. One example: our team has a custom partner marketing workspace in Cursor with 30+ agent skills wired via MCP to HubSpot, Slack, Databricks, and Coda. Before Zapier: platform partner marketing at Thinkific. On the side: Ren Strategies, a small passion project where I help therapists and mental health professionals launch their websites and marketing strategies.
