Lead the development of a strategic partnership with Apple in the development for DaaS + MMS (Mobility as a Service). The launch of DaaS + MMS for Apple was the culmination of a multi-year strategy to develop a complete Mobility as a Service offering and the first stage of a multi-pronged offering. The framework for the DaaS + MMS offering included multiple partnerships and service delivery capabilities that included financing offers, insurance solutions, repair capabilities, asset management and reporting, and OEM partnerships. My role included the program design, financial modeling, offer creation, strategic partnership management, and oversight of the program launch and subsequent phased offerings.

Responsible for architecting global solutions and service delivery for multi-national customers. Beyond global delivery I'm developing financial and business continuity solutions as well as affiliate relations.

On a daily basis I provide the global service delivery and solution design elements for MMS (managed mobility services) to our member sales organizations. This includes both direct client facing engagements as well as operating in a supporting role. With the growth of GEMA in 2013 we added additional executive team members allowing me to focus on the operational integration of the alliance. Responsibilities included the recruitment and on boarding of new members for the alliance in Europe, APAC, and LATAM. This process includes the system and process integration of the new members into GEMA's framework of client lifecycle support. Countries of emphasis and new member or service delivery on boarding include: Mexico, Israel, Ireland, United Kingdom, BENELUX, Sweden (Nordics), Italy, India, and the APAC region. Initiatives include: - The evaluation and implementation of a new ITSM system and migration from the legacy platform. - Engagement with the vendor eco-system for the development of new GEMA products. e.g. GEMA Renew; our global device retirement and recycle product for mobile devices. - RFP/RFI responses and creation for multi-national clients in EMEA, North America, and APAC. - Executive client presentations in support of our channel and regional GEMA members. - Training material creation and presentation to GEMA members.

I held multiple positions with Sprint from 1997 through 2005 including partner relationship management and technical sales. From 2001 through 2005 I participated under several different partner management titles in Sprint's Small Business Dealer Network and Business Solution Partner programs. I moved from identifying, recruiting, supporting and growing a distribution network in the upper midwest to supporting national partner accounts in the Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska areas. From 2003 to 2005 I functioned in a unique hybrid position as the primary relationship manager nationally for one of Sprint's largest business partners. Included in this roll was partner development, contract negotiation, liaison with Sprint internal groups and regional partner managers, technical support as well as direct customer presentations,

I have been pursuing multiple degrees in Political Science and a BS in Economics from the University of Minnesota. Travel schedules and the unique demands of certain customer engagements have made this slow going. Less than six courses remain until my completion.
