How did you get into partnerships?

Having started my working career as a young woman helping to build companies from scratch, I have that entrepreneurial itch that needs to be satisfied and processing paperwork in a Sales role just didn’t do it for me!

Distancing myself from the monotony and thankless task of reporting to talentless Sales Directors, I embraced Partnerships and searched for a successful industry methodology to apply to my inherent understanding of what needed to be done to achieve success. This is where I ran into Alliance Best Practice, which gave me the ammunition to co-found Women in Alliances (WIA).
