How did you get into partnerships?
Almost 10 years ago, after a long career in business development, strategy, and marketing in global telecom, tech, and retail, I joined EMPIST, a Chicago-based Web Design, Software & Application Development firm. I was responsible for new business development and the Shopify Plus partnership, where we could offer third-party custom software integrations and custom application development via Shopify. There I saw the power of partnerships and the value of daily pipeline via a partner.
