Bridget Hayes
Channel Sales Manager EMEA
Verified
Sales and channel leader with 20+ years of experience growing revenue, launching partner ecosystems, and supporting teams across EMEA, the US, and APAC. Success has come through creating clarity, building belief, and aligning people with strategy. Known for building programmes from the ground up, navigating complex go-to-market motions, and working shoulder to shoulder with partners and teams to drive meaningful outcomes. The focus isn't just on targets, it's on building cultures where people feel connected to the mission, confident in their role, and supported to do their best work. When teams believe in the journey, they deliver, not because they're told to, but because they want to. Equally comfortable rolling up sleeves as an individual contributor, whether that's leading strategic deals, supporting enablement, or account managing key partners to unlock growth and long-term value. Proven track record across IoT, AI, SaaS, and connectivity, with a hands-on, purpose-led approach that balances strategic vision with commercial sharpness.
