Partnerships, alliances, and go to market

I build the partnerships and programs that turn into revenue.

Twenty years inside Adobe, IBM, Acxiom, Rackspace, and Harland Clarke, building partner channels and alliances, launching products, and closing enterprise deals. Today I lead Left Brain + Right Brain, teach business in San Antonio, and serve on boards across the city.
