The problem

The partner ecosystem was measured as a transactional resale channel. Activity-volume metrics like deal registrations and partner-papered revenue didn't reflect lifecycle value or customer outcomes. Partner field teams and partners themselves were being evaluated on the wrong things.


What I did

Led a team of four to rebuild the attribution model from scratch. Reclassified the ecosystem from a resale channel to a lifecycle value framework, redefined the unit of measurement from 'did the partner paper the deal' to 'did the partner improve the customer's trajectory.' Captured full range of pre-sale and post-sale activities. Built predictive forecasts and KPI infrastructure used by CRO and Partnerships leadership. Established weekly operating cadences accelerated by GenAI tooling.


Outcome

WHAT THIS MADE POSSIBLE

Partner field teams and partners themselves could be evaluated and incentivized on lifecycle outcomes instead of deal volume. That changed what the org optimized for.
