Build a Channel That Actually Produces Revenue

Most partner programs fail quietly. They launch with enthusiasm, sign a list of logos, and then produce almost nothing. I help technology companies design, rebuild and scale channel programs that partners actually engage with and that show up in the forecast.

You've signed partners, but a handful produce everything and the rest are dormant.

Your channel revenue is unpredictable and impossible to forecast.

Partners say they're committed, then bring you nothing but the deals they'd have won anyway.

You're entering a new market and don't know which partner types to recruit, or in what order.

You have a program document nobody reads and an incentive structure nobody responds to.

Your direct team and your partners are competing for the same accounts, and it's costing you both.

None of these are recruitment problems. They’re design problems, and design problems are fixable.

Why me

Thirty years in B2B and channel sales. I’ve built and scaled partner ecosystems worldwide for companies in DevOps, application performance monitoring, CDN and cybersecurity, including Dynatrace, Keynote Systems, Verizon Digital Media, Gomez and Segue Software.

I’ve recruited resellers and systems integrators, designed partner programs from a blank page, rebuilt programs that had stalled, and run field enablement across multiple languages and markets. I work in English and Spanish, and I’m based in Barcelona.
I’m also the author of The Channel Sales Manual: the framework I use with clients, written down.
