A Beloved Leader Joins Ultimate Guide to Partnering?

This guest for Ultimate Guide to Partnering? needs no introduction. Gavriella Schuster is the former channel chief at Microsoft and now a three-time guest on this podcast.

In Gavriella's words

As a C-Level Microsoft Executive and global thought leader, I bring over 30 years of leadership in digital and cloud transformation roles. I build strategy spanning all aspects of business model and product development, launch, marketing, sales, and partnership, with operational execution excellence. Throughout my career, I have helped thousands of businesses of all sizes to digitally transform through technology. I have grown a P&L into $10B over 5 years, managed global sales revenues of $40B, and led a global portfolio of channel partners that has influenced over $1 trillion through Microsoft’s fastest-growing ecosystem.

Quote From This Episode

“So this is why I call on everyone to really work with intention to be an ally. And again, it's both men and women, because there are women who were like me. Before I had my moment of realizing I had an obligation that I was in a position of privilege and power, and I needed to be the role model and be an ally, that we just need more allyship behavior."
