• Expand key relationships and identify additional contacts and executive sponsors within partner organizations to deepen engagement and build alignment across departments and initiatives.
• Track, analyze, and flexibly report on partner performance, KPIs, sourced/influenced pipeline, and revenue outcomes. Adapt reporting to meet the needs of executives, partners, and internal teams.
