I've known Nelson since we worked together 17 years ago. It's been incredible watching him build partner programs from zero to one at leading tech companies. When we worked together at Box, he helped scale the partner program to hundreds of partners and I saw firsthand his passion, enthusiasm and work ethic with partners. He excels at bringing a strategic vision, principles first thinking and frameworks to build and scale partnerships at fast growth tech companies. I highly recommend his work!

The Partnership Principles strategy pitch deck is a complete game changer for anyone in Channels & Alliances. Nelson provides you with a structured framework that is easy to consume. Whether you are building a program from scratch, pitching for internal alignment, or creating a joint strategy with your strategic partners, I would highly recommend this template. What I love most is how versatile it is. It provides the foundation you need and allows you to customize to your specific use cases. I will be using this deck from here on out to structure my presentations internally and externally.

I'm a partner consultant helping manage and grow partnerships among various industries and stages of technology startups. I'm also building a tool for partner managers to drive company revenue through the project management work we do in managing the partnerships in our ecosystem. The hardest work in partnerships is the work of building a partnership. A successful partnership starts with a successful framework. We can't just go around and talking with companies about partnerships if we don't have a strategy. Nelson provides the step by step process to give you and your a company the best chance of success with your future partners. This content helped us create the framework and the runway for helping our clients be successful from the ground floor with their growing partner program. The best thing is that there's SO much content to look through. Not everything applies to every part of our business, nor our clients, but Nelson's content helps us think of every angle to help our clients grow.

After months of following his posts on LinkedIn, I reached out to him because I hope to emulate the work he does with his partners so that I, too, can enjoy some of the success he's experienced. I've seen him establish, grow and maintain superb global alliances with major strategic partners. He's amazingly well connected, and has the clarity and energy needed in a great career coach. I highly recommend Nelson to any partner alliance professional looking to up their game and to gain the definitive competitive advantage in the job marketplace."

I recently wrapped up the $150M Partner OS Program alongside Nelson Wang, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed by the wealth of knowledge shared and Nelson's astute insights and guidance. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or just stepping into the realm of partner programs, Nelson's expertise and advice are invaluable! The strategic framework for partner programs is already catalyzing positive changes in our operations! I enthusiastically endorse the program, and the interactions with Nelson are truly invaluable. In an environment where much is still conducted informally and relies on institutional knowledge, it's incredibly refreshing to encounter a structured partner-focused approach rooted in real-world experience.
