“Impartner and the channel management technology market are in the enviable position of having a solid track record of success and surging demand as partners step into the driver’s seat for companies who can no longer be there in person for the foreseeable future,” said Curran. “I could not be more thrilled to join this experienced team and help take Impartner to the next level in the market.”

“Bill brings an absolutely stellar record of transformative sales success and excellence in sales coaching and leadership,” said CEO Joe Wang. “We’re happy to have him take the reins of the sales organization and, at the same time, to have Mark, who has grown our customer base 10x in recent years, focus on expanding our channel operations.”
