Ally Murtlow, Director of National Channel Sales, is a power player in the channel space and has made a significant impact on the Dialpad program since joining the organization in November 2020 from 8×8. Murtlow’s focus on curating and dedicating high-touch support for channel partners greatly contributed to Dialpad’s channel bookings growth in 2021. The channel consistently contributes significantly to the company’s revenue and, over the course of last year, the Dialpad channel team grew exponentially,

“Ally has been heavily focused on growing Dialpad’s national team and ensuring that national partners are armed to sell Dialpad through marketing initiatives and incentive programs, ensuring geographic alignment across the nation and building out an enablement strategy,” said Mike Kane, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Channel Sales at Dialpad. “In addition, Ally works closely with Dialpad’s regional channel and sales leadership to ensure internal alignment on our national channel strategy and growth plans which continue to drive company success. The Dialpad channel team would not have seen its level of impact and success without Ally Murtlow.”

Kaitlin Boughton, Channel Sales Manager, joined Dialpad in 2018 and adds a well-rounded perspective to the team from previous experience within the communications industry at RingCentral. In 2021, Boughton launched the Dialpad Partner Account Manager team which consists of 13 team members responsible for recruiting and onboarding new channel partners into the Dialpad partner program. Through Boughton’s guidance, the Partner Account Manager team has driven a significant impact in expanding Dialpad’s partner community and revenue.
