Challenges
- Strategy to scale company’s revenue potential prior to Initial Public Offering (IPO) centered on successfully recruiting and on-boarding multi-faceted partner channel, yet lacked proven approach and team to execute strategy in compressed window
- Product marketing lead for rapidly approaching product launch critical to company’s market positioning was unavailable due to key team member’s personal leave
Results
- Ramped revenues from $38 million the year prior to partner ecosystem roll-out and product launch to $64 million the following year (and year of IPO) to $106 million, $147 million and $168 million in subsequent years
- Defined partner engagement framework and developed master go-to-market plan (e.g., “air traffic control”) for partner ecosystem program, while on-boarding tier 1 and 2 partners leveraging partner playbooks, joint messaging, partner sales enablement and co-marketing / thought leadership activities
- Provided interim product marketing resource and programmatic approach for product launch, which was recognized with an award as most successful in company’s history
