Business Development & Partnerships Coaches

In my work as Vice President at Panasonic, we were constantly looking for smaller to large companies to partner with on new business ventures. From our getting into Battery Storage Devices, to our early pioneering of Home Telemedicine, to our working on whole home ventilation and energy systems, I headed a team that worked with partners to bring to market solutions in areas that we could not do on our own. A lot of this work is empowering staff to do the ground work for setting up a successful venture, and a key to doing that is hiring the right type of person. They are not just sales people, or product people, or managers. They are innovators and project management, with technical backgrounds and an understanding of marketing. In this sense, who you put in key positions is a key to getting successful ventures, as well as defining clearly the work of leadership in cementing relationships. I can help advise on doing this successfully.

I have nearly a decade of experience with business development, alliance management, and sales. I've owned pipelines of over $100M and independently sourced and closed major enterprise deals. I've also hired several folks into these roles.

I am a 20+ year sales & marketing executive that has worked at Fortune 500 companies (P&G, Google, and Meta), and have been a Chief Revenue Officer at an AI analytics startup. I have interviewed and managed people at all ends of the spectrum from new hires to VP / excecs, in the US and APAC.

I’ve spent my career building strong, trust-based relationships that drive business — from leading growth strategy and account development at Deloitte to creating the business development and partnership model for my own boutique consulting firm. At Deloitte, I helped design and execute business development strategies for priority accounts in the TMT sector, working closely with client executives, alliance partners, and internal teams to drive sustained growth. As a founder, I built the firm’s go-to-market model from the ground up — developing messaging, outreach campaigns, and strategic partnerships with complementary firms and advisors. I coach professionals who want to grow their business presence and influence — whether they’re in client-facing roles, building a book of business, launching a new offering, or developing a networking and partnership strategy that aligns with their goals. My approach combines structure and adaptability, drawing on real-world experience to help you build credibility, deepen relationships, and pursue growth in a way that’s both strategic and sustainable.

+ 7+ years in global partnerships and expansion

I've been on the buyside for many years - I'd love to coach you as you think through selling your business.

As the founder of Startup Sales Consulting, I work closely with founders, AEs, and BDRs at startups to generate more meetings within their Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) and convert interested prospects into paying customers. I've twice been the first sales hire at venture backed startups (Arc Technologies and Trunk Tools - both now with 9-figure valuations) where I help each company scale from seed to beyond series A. Now I work as a sales coach full-time to help more startups do the same. You can check out my training classes on my website (www.yourstartupsales.com) to get an idea of skills that I teach.
