David Totten: The Secrets to Managing Alliances Like Microsoft

Ecosystem Aces

If you want to learn the best ways to do something, you need to turn to the experts.
You need to turn to the people and organizations with the kind of wisdom that can only be gained through years of experience.
So, when it comes to managing partnerships, you turn to Microsoft.
That’s why I am so happy I got a chance to sit down with David Totten, Chief Technology Officer, US Partner Ecosystem at Microsoft in our latest episode.
David’s experience managing partners in the leading organization in the space makes him the expert to talk to. And at a time when the world is changing so dramatically, so rapidly, who better to turn to than a company that has weathered numerous global crises over the years?
We had a chance to discuss:
- The lessons learned from Microsoft’s 35 years in partnerships
- How partnerships are evolving under COVID-19
- The 3 pillars of nurturing talent
