Partnerships & BD Expert | Uber, Snapchat, Foursquare | NYU Stern
I'm a partnerships and BD leader with 10+ years experience. My experience ranges from billion-dollar global platforms to early-stage startups finding their first distribution channels. If you dive a little deeper, you'll find that: I've negotiated with Amazon, AMEX, Hilton, Toast, CloudKitchens, Zapier, Stripe, GE, and dozens of others. I've worked at a Series A startup that scaled to unicorn status. I've done revenue partnerships, product integrations, marketplace co-sells, channel deals, and platform distribution deals. I know what a partnerships career looks like at every stage and company size. Fast forward to today: I run Kyte Growth, my fractional partnerships consultancy, and I coach professionals who want to break into BD / partnerships or navigate tough career moves.
