About
Bringing over two decades of comprehensive experience in sales leadership and partner development, I excel in driving strategic growth and fostering robust relationships within the channel ecosystem, encompassing vendor relations, MSSP, and distribution. My career has been marked by a deep commitment to excellence, evident in my role at ScalePad, where I've significantly expanded partner networks and optimized revenue generation through strategic engagement and innovation.
Beyond sales, I contribute my expertise to training, marketing, and product development, demonstrating a multifaceted approach to business growth and operational excellence. As a manager and owner of a successful technology-focused brokerage, I've blended technology with business acumen to create a pioneering service model, reflecting my capacity for innovation and leadership in a competitive landscape.
I possess a unique ability to navigate the complexities of IT operations and service management, cybersecurity, and governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), leveraging this knowledge to inform strategic decisions and drive business success. My approach is rooted in a deep understanding of the technical and operational facets of the industry, enabling me to deliver outstanding results and contribute to the sustained growth and success of the organizations I work with.

You've made a promising business connection. How do you ensure it blossoms into a profitable partnership?
Here's a truth bomb: If you want real partnerships, you have to go beyond the deal. It's not just about the contract—it's about truly adding value. I remember a time when a partner struggled with something outside our usual scope. Instead of saying, "Not my problem," I offered a solution. It wasn’t part of our service, but it made a big impact. They saw I cared about their success, not just my bottom line. That’s how you build deeper, stronger partnerships. Help your partners solve their challenges, and you'll both win. Focus on their success, and they’ll bring you along for the ride.

You've made a promising business connection. How do you ensure it blossoms into a profitable partnership?
Here’s the deal: business isn’t static. Needs change, markets shift. To build strong partnerships, you need to be flexible. A while back, a partner's needs changed overnight. Instead of sticking to our old plan, we adapted. The result? A new, better solution that worked for both of us. Flexibility shows you're committed and willing to find new ways to succeed together. It’s not about sticking to one path—it's about finding the best path forward. Stay adaptable, and you'll turn challenges into growth opportunities. That’s how you build trust and drive success.

You've made a promising business connection. How do you ensure it blossoms into a profitable partnership?
**Trust is Key in Sales Partnerships** Building trust is crucial for successful sales partnerships. Start by being clear about what you can and can't do. Honesty sets a strong foundation and makes you more credible. Always deliver on your promises—meet deadlines, be reliable, and maintain quality. The more trust you build, the more partners will want to work with you and share opportunities. This leads to better deals and long-term growth. Focus on being transparent, consistent, and reliable to create stronger, more profitable partnerships. Remember, trust isn't just built once—it's earned every day.
