New ConnectWise Community Director Amy Hodge.
Hodge has worked in and around the channel for 14 years — since 2000. Moving up from a channel sales rep at Captaris to channel account manager at GFI Software and strategic partner manager at SAGECOM. She joined ConnectWise in Aug. 2009 as Channel Partner Community Manager.
At Captaris, she achieved 110 percent to 120 percent of quota three consecutive years. At GFI, she increased new license sales through channel partners by at least 25 percent (year over year) for three consecutive quarters. And at SAGECOM, she drove over $1 million in top line revenue (in her first year) through new partners. (Source: LinkedIn)
Hodge graduated from University of Arizona — with a degree in Physiological Sciences — in 1998. I believe that covers how organisms, organ systems, organs, cells and bio-molecules carry out chemical and physical functions that exist in a living system. But I'll be sure to fact-check that with Hodge at IT Nation 2014.
Actually, the ConnectWise partner community isn't always so serious. Yes, prepping for IT Nation and regional user group meetings involves high-stress intensity. But Hodge (top left) and the partner team have been known to let their hair down after deadlines — and partner needs — are met.
Hodge's community expertise extends beyond the ConnectWise partner base. More recent efforts include LabTech Software's Automation Nation conference. (True confession: I forget the robot's nickname. Anybody got an answer?)
