I help SaaS and high-growth companies unlock exponential ARR growth by building partner ecosystems, affiliate programs, and GTM systems that scale.

Unlike most leaders who specialize in either sales or partnerships, I bring both:
	•	Closed 7-figure enterprise deals as an AE.
	•	Built partner programs adding $10M–$40M+ ARR.
	•	Designed affiliate systems activating thousands of high-performing partners.

My approach blends direct sales experience with a playbook for recruiting, activating, and scaling partner ecosystems that deliver measurable revenue impact.

Currently applying this GTM playbook inside Instantly.ai, where I’m documenting the journey in real time — frameworks, wins, and lessons that any GTM leader can adapt to scale faster.

What I do best:
	•	Design & scale high-impact partner programs.
	•	Build integrated GTM systems combining affiliates, agencies, integrations, and brand alliances.
	•	Turn real-world results into repeatable, monetizable frameworks.

I also work with select founders, execs, and investors through consulting, advisory, and JV opportunities — helping them structure partnerships that multiply revenue and create leverage.

📌 Core Competencies:
• Partnership & Affiliate Revenue Growth
• GTM Architecture & Execution
• Enterprise Sales & Negotiation
• Strategic Alliances & Integrations
• Business Process Optimization
• Leadership & Coaching High-Growth Teams

If you’re building a partner-sourced GTM function and want to scale faster, let’s connect.

Marc Gaudett

As Head of Partnerships, I stay close to the work.

That means:
Talking directly to customers.
Listening to tech partners.
Working alongside affiliates.
Shaping what an integration should look like.
Designing the exact flow.
Hearing real objections from prospects also evaluating competitors.
Building go-to-market strategy end-to-end with partners.
Owning the operations and documentation that make scale possible.

This isn’t accidental — it’s intentional.

No matter how senior the role, some time needs to be spent here.
This is where signal lives.

And when the thought crosses my mind that I “don’t have time” for it, I’m reminded:

This is a motion that has to happen regularly — like exercising or brushing your teeth.

It doesn’t need all of your time.
But it does need to happen.

Partners are just another type of customer.
Staying close helps you pressure-test the value early
and shape something people actually want to take to market.

It keeps you honest.
It sharpens how you build.
It clarifies how you’re discovered.
And it forces your GTM story to make sense outside your own walls.

Being close is what lets you build the right things
and bring them to market faster.
