Partnerize, the global leader in partnership automation, software and services, announced the appointments of Adam Brownstein, Clare Conway and Mike Grossman to the senior leadership team. The hires further underscore the company’s unique position as the partnership category’s only provider of both partnership marketing software and customized service. Exiting the 1H of 2021, Partnerize continues to generate significant global momentum, with YoY order volume gains of 91% for same store sales within the period, excluding travel. YoY revenue also grew 37% — with these leadership additions expected to further accelerate this momentum as the partnership category increasingly delivers critical operating leverage to brands and partners by providing a critical subsidy to primary sales and marketing channels and retires the legacy network model.
“The combined experience of Clare, Adam and Mike will further accelerate our ability to deliver critical operating leverage to our global customer base at a time when our ability to deliver a true subsidy to primary sales and marketing channels has never mattered more,” said Matt Gilbert, Partnerize CEO. “Well coordinated appointments of this caliber are a testament to the opportunity for our category, the momentum of our business, and our commitment to continuously improving our ability to provide the highest quality service, with the added benefit of geo-specific intelligence and platform expertise, to our clients in all active markets across the world. Each of Clare, Adam, and Mike represent the best of our company’s values, and will deliver customer-first solutions while pushing our category forward.”
