✨Tessa H.
Senior Affiliate Manager, Enterprise @ Gen3 Marketing
About
I’m a growth and partnerships leader focused on scaling revenue through partner-led acquisition, affiliate, and marketplace channels. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve built and optimized performance-driven growth engines across retail, SaaS, travel, and most recently, highly regulated healthcare environments. Most recently, I owned and scaled a $16M+ partner portfolio, driving both top-line growth and improved unit economics. Recent Key impact: • Drove ~$4M in incremental YoY revenue while reducing spend by ~$1.7M • Improved LTV:CAC by ~40% through partner mix optimization, pricing strategy, and conversion improvements • Increased revenue per lead by 30%+, improving downstream conversion and customer quality My experience sits at the intersection of affiliate, partnerships, and marketplace dynamics, including working across performance marketplaces and exchanges where pricing, partner quality, and demand/supply balance directly impact revenue outcomes. I focus on: • Scaling partner ecosystems across affiliates, marketplaces, and strategic partnerships • Designing pricing and payout models that drive incrementality and long-term value • Optimizing acquisition across digital and call center channels • Using data to improve conversion, efficiency, and partner performance at scale I’ve worked across platforms including Impact, CJ, Rakuten, Awin, QuinStreet and Media Alpha, with experience managing both direct partnerships and marketplace-driven acquisition. What differentiates my background is the ability to operate in complex, regulated environments—balancing growth with compliance, quality, and long-term value. I’m particularly interested in roles focused on: • Marketplace Growth / Partner Strategy • Strategic Partnerships / Channel Partnerships • Performance or Growth Marketing leadership
