About Jenn Reed

A channel veteran, my career spans over 25 years in cross-functional roles, including technical, training, sales, and marketing for a range of technology companies. As COO at Channel Maven Consulting I led mission-critical “to-partner” communications and “through-partner” demand generation initiatives for some of the largest IT and Telecom vendors in the world. A former corporate sales and technology trainer, I maintain an elevated understanding of the components necessary to successfully lead, design, and develop integrated brand building strategies as well as evaluate and implement high performance enablement platforms and programs that drive revenue. As a public speaker, I welcome the opportunity to present digital content marketing and social selling best practices for channel sales and marketers. With deep insights into consulting, communications, and marketing across a wide array of technologies, I am deeply committed to engaging and enabling channel partners and delivering exceptional experiences for joint customers. With a growth-focused leadership mindset and no-nonsense approach I strive to foster a people-first, collaborative environment, built on mentoring to support strategic channel marketing and partner program initiatives.Specializations include:Social Media Amplification and Engagement Strategies Content Marketing Strategy and Execution Technology Implementations; CRMs, PRMs and Marketing Automation PlatformsChannel Program Development and SupportPaid and Organic Marketing Tactics and Strategies Demand Gen and Lead Gen and Nurture CampaignsCommunications Strategy Development and ExecutionEvent Support, Logistics, and CommunicationsA fitness enthusiast, self-proclaimed chocoholic, and a New Yorker at heart, long ago I traded the snow for sunny Sarasota, Florida.
