With over 25 years of experience driving partner success at leading enterprise technology companies, Kimberly King has firmly established herself as an insightful leader committed to taking partnerships to new heights.

 

Kimberly began her channel leadership career in the 1990s at FORE Systems, where she spearheaded critical systems integration and M&A projects. Her innovative approach optimized routes-to-market and expanded partner capabilities.

 

As channel chief roles at Predictive Systems, SMARTS, Appilog and Softek in the early 2000s, Kimberly built award-winning partner programs from the ground up. Her creative engagement with partners enabled young companies to accelerate growth.

 

Kimberly then brought her bold vision to Compuware, where she led a transformation that reinvigorated their previously stagnant partner program. Her transformative leadership aligned partners for new market success.

 

At Progress Software from 2012-2017, Kimberly replicated her success, driving double-digit channel growth through renewed focus on enablement and recruitment. Her strategic perspective opened up new partner potential.

 

Today at Hitachi Vantara, Kimberly continues to foster high-performance strategic alliances and channels. She is widely admired for empowering partners and teams.

 

However, Kimberly's impact extends beyond her illustrious career achievements. She is a role model for her integrity, courage, and pioneering spirit taking partnerships to new heights.

 

With her lifelong commitment to channel success, Kimberly King has more than earned her reputation as a luminary in the field. She richly deserves this recognition.
