ABOUT KATE BALBONI

I\'m a growth-focused sales leader passionate about gift card solutions that drive behavior, improve outcomes, and make incentive programs truly impactful. At GiftCard Partners, I help enterprise clients in healthcare, life sciences, and wellness align their goals with strategic reward programs—everything from compliance-driven incentives to large-scale engagement campaigns.Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to help shape and scale our flagship Engage2Reward™, build new verticals, and grow accounts by listening closely to what drives each customer’s success. I’ve led sales teams, assembled playbooks and other sales collateral, built go-to-market strategy with Product and Marketing, and partnered directly with our CEO on growth strategy.What keeps me energized is solving real problems—whether that means optimizing a client’s reward mix, translating regulatory requirements into program design, or helping internal teams bring a new idea to market. I’ve worn many hats: quota-carrying sales rep, strategist, mentor, and builder—and I bring both data and heart to each of those roles.I am always open to connecting with others passionate about behavior-driven rewards, employee wellness and engagement, or creative ways to deliver value through incentives.Expertise: Enterprise Sales, Channel Strategy, Employee Engagement, Healthcare Incentives, Wellness Programs, Gift Card Distribution, Sales Operations, Go-to-Market Strategy, Strategic Partnerships, Client Success, Life Sciences, HubSpot, Salesforce, RFP Management, Campaign Development, B2B SaaS, Open/Closed-Loop Rewards, Compliance (CMS, STARS, NCQA), Platform Sales, Inbound/Outbound Sales, Market Expansion, Partner Enablement, Team Leadership, Revenue Growth, Incentive Platforms, Sales Enablement, Customer Loyalty, Retention Strategies, Storytelling in Sales, Vertical Market Development
