Existing relationships at two or more ISVs in the backup, infrastructure, or data platform categories.
Comprehensive experience running ISV partner programs end-to-end, covering integration certification, co-sell activation, joint GTM, and MDF governance.
Technical fluency with S3-compatible APIs, object storage tiering, and how backup/recovery or data pipeline ISVs connect to cloud storage.
Proficiency in Salesforce for partner pipeline management and forecasting.
