Zero to $3M partner-sourced ARR, seven lanes, one builder
  • Portfolio: Grew a 50+ partner portfolio to $3M in partner-sourced ARR through 400%+ growth, a Series B round, and five acquisitions, owning partner scoring, the partner fund, and ARR attribution.
  • Corporate development sourcing: As partnerships merged with M&A, surfaced acquisition targets and originated a $1.5M, 154-customer book takeover; the combined channel reached 413% of its quarterly goal.
  • Co-sell lane: Sourced, structured, and activated 35 co-sell and referral partnerships with joint success targets and 90-day launch plans, originating five marquee enterprise customers. One early co-sell proof of concept grew into a 170-location rollout, Humanly's largest customer.
  • White-label lane: Rebuilt inherited white-label agreements with new OEM, embedded, and white-label price architecture, enabling the channel to produce $500K ARR.
  • Reseller (VAR) lane: Designed a reseller model on platform fee plus token-based usage pricing; closed 3 resellers at ~$300K committed ARR, each opening a new lane: an international market, a career-coaching use case, and a PEO bundle.
  • Marketplace lane: Co-designed a curated vendor marketplace inside the acquired ATS, one vetted vendor per category at one bundled price; advanced the first background screening bundle to contract with a 700-location brand, cutting its $300K annual screening spend 35%.
  • Community lane: Turned an analyst council on human-centered AI into a customer focus group and a national conference stage session, leading one of the largest customers into a six-figure expansion.
  • Franchise lane: Won location-by-location operator buy-in inside a national restaurant brand by aligning with its women's leadership association, opening buying conversations with five operators running 750+ locations within five months.
