• Identify new business opportunities and support partners in creating tailored value propositions for local markets.

• Plan and execute joint marketing initiatives, including private events, workshops, and executive sessions with partners.

• Monitor partner performance, market dynamics, and business outcomes to ensure objectives are met.

• Deliver regular business reviews, insights, and recommendations to internal stakeholders.
