SELECTED WORK

Two examples that show how I work.

Salesforce

Launching a revenue-generating reseller programme in Spain

Problem

Recruiting partners was only the first step. They also needed resale capability and alignment with Salesforce account teams on where to focus.

My contribution

I launched the reseller programme in Spain, recruited and enabled partners, and worked with account teams to agree priorities and progress active opportunities.

Result

The programme delivered sustained year-on-year growth in partner-sourced closed-won revenue.

Activating the Iberian partner ecosystem

Problem

Some partner relationships across Iberia needed to be restarted after activity had slowed. Opportunity ownership, qualification and next actions also needed to be clearer.

My contribution

I re-engaged existing partners, recruited new ones and worked with Sales to qualify and progress opportunities more consistently.

Result

That work created new partner-sourced pipeline and clearer governance around partner opportunities.

ARTICLES

Articles on partnerships, channels and commercial execution.

These articles focus on the practical side of partner and channel work.

Partner Strategy

Partner Recruitment Is Not Partner Strategy

Adding partners can create reach, but it does not by itself create a route to market. A partner strategy needs commercial choices, operating discipline and a reason for both sides to invest.

ABOUT

Experience across enterprise technology.

I started in direct sales and moved into channels and alliances later. That experience still shapes how I work: align with Sales early, qualify opportunities before treating activity as progress, and focus on fewer partners with clearer account priorities.

As an individual contributor, I have managed portfolios ranging from specialist firms to larger consulting and technology partners. Some relationships need to be built from the beginning; others need to be restarted after activity slows. In both cases, the practical work is the same: agree where to focus, give the partner a reason to invest and keep opportunities moving.

I am based in Málaga and have worked in Portugal, Ireland and Spain, with regional experience across Iberia, EMEA and Africa.

I work calmly and come prepared. I prefer clear ownership and follow up on the actions we agree.
