Sales Development & Ecosystem Partnerships for Open Source and Enterprise Tech

I help B2B teams design and run outbound partnership and account development programs that actually close, combining RevOps discipline, sharp targeting, and human-first outreach.

Partnership Pipeline Snapshot

  • 10–20 high-intent partner accounts sourced per week

  • Multi-threaded outreach cadences with RevOps-backed data

  • Full funnel visibility from first touch to signed agreement

Result: predictable meetings and partner-driven revenue, not spray-and-pray sequences.

Signature engagement

Partnership Pipeline Accelerator

I design, launch, and optimize a targeted outbound program to open net-new partnership and customer opportunities for your team.

  • Partner & account mapping: ICP refinement and tiered target list creation.

  • Messaging & sequencing: multi-channel outbound built for replies, not volume.

  • RevOps alignment: routing rules, fields, and reporting wired into your CRM.

  • Execution support: daily prospecting, outreach, and meeting booking.

  • Playbook handoff: processes, templates, and dashboards your team can run.

What you’ll walk away with

  • Dashboard to track meetings, cycles, and revenue

  • Clear playbook to scale with your internal team

  • Ready-to-send sequences and messaging templates

First step: share your focus, tools, and targets in a short form. If it’s a fit, we’ll book a working session to map your accelerator.

How I work

A simple, accountable delivery model.

Designed for busy leaders who need clear expectations, tight feedback loops, and visible progress every single week.

1. Diagnose & focus

We review your current pipeline, systems, and targets. Together we choose 1–2 partnership or account motions that can move the needle fastest.

2. Build & launch

I design your targeting, messaging, and workflows, then execute daily prospecting and outreach as an extension of your team.

3. Optimize & hand off

We review performance weekly, refine what works, then package everything into a repeatable playbook your team can run or I can continue operating.
