Alliance Aces

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: No technology company goes to market alone. Taylor VanderZanden is the Global Partner Sales Manager at Intel Corporation and part of the strategic partners & solutions team.  She manages an ever-expanding network of Intel’s partners. In terms of her day to day role, Taylor works closely with Intel’s independent software vendors and global system integrators.  She is constantly analyzing Intel’s position form a global logistic standpoint as well as from a partner relationship standpoint.  Taylor is helping partners identify key growth areas in AI and analytics so they are constantly on the cutting edge of current technology.  Part of the fun of Taylor’s job is seeing older partners adapting to new technology and newer players leading the way in innovation. We spoke with Taylor in this episode of Alliance Aces about Intel’s goals, challenges in the alliance space, partner stages, and how Intel grows their partner network.
