Recruit, negotiate, onboard, and activate high‑value resellers, MSPs, VARs, distributors, and strategic channel partners. Leverage your existing network to generate qualified pipeline and accelerate partner‑led revenue. Develop joint business plans with partners that drive measurable pipeline, bookings, and revenue growth. Own partner performance across the region, with accountability for pipeline, forecasting, bookings, and revenue. Establish and lead the commercial operating cadence, including forecasting, pipeline reviews, KPI reporting, commission frameworks, and quarterly business reviews. Define, track, and optimize key commercial metrics, including partner‑sourced pipeline, bookings, revenue, partner productivity, and forecast accuracy.
