So today I received the "Team Over Self" recognition award in the EMEA Salesloft Quarterly Awards.
It's been three months since the announcement of Salesloft acquiring Drift, a Salesloft company and we role grew to lead EMEA Partnerships in the new organisation, and what a three months its been. Anyone who has been through an acquisition of any kind knows it is pretty full on! but I've been fortunate to have been able to play a role in bringing the two teams and companies together AND to be able to help shape what partnership looks like especially in EMEA.
One thing that has blown me away has been the EMEA team in general, not only have they been incredibly welcoming, but the level of excitement and keenness to lean in around partnerships has frankly been unlike anything I have seen in my 25 year career. As an example, we held our ENT QBR's in our London office yesterday and every .... single .... presentation had an element of wanting to work with the partnerships team, every one!
Building effective relationships is my passion (or my superpower as others have said) so to get recognition for doing something you love doing is a bit weird!. To not only have the support of all aspects of the company but to have them offering to work WITH me to build OUR partnership ecosystem and to get "shit done" has been incredible.
Gratitude time! .....
David Cancel, Elias Torres for building Drift, a Salesloft company and alongside people like Andrew Arocha, Ben Gardner and Ryan Schultz continuing to be mentors I can turn to for advice and your friendship.
Lee Zucker, Mark Niemiec, David Obrand for giving me the opportunity to continue as part of the new Salesloft org.
Rob Cook, Will Eves, Matthew Welch, Rishi Naik James Peacock, Stefano Bonato, Eliza Cheyney for your help and support so far, AND for the mountain of greatness we are going to build together over the coming months.
And every Partner, Drifter and Lofter for being .......... absolute legends.
I PROMISE the post after the next award will be shorter....... and I PROMISE the results that we are going to achieve as a team is going to turn heads 😉
On to Q2..... 3.....4 and beyond.
