Develop and execute regional partner business and sales plans that create measurable pipeline and revenue. Recruit and develop productive relationships with national and regional partners where additional market coverage is needed. Build strong executive-level relationships with strategic partners and connect those relationships to customer opportunities. Achieve and exceed assigned Enterprise and Commercial revenue goals.
