Impartner, a global leader in channel management technologies helping businesses accelerate the performance of their indirect sales channel, announced it has appointed Robert Reid to the company’s board of directors. Reid is chairman of Mid-Market Solutions for Sage, the market leader in cloud business management solutions. Prior to Sage, Reid was CEO of Intaact (which was acquired by Sage), LucidEra, UpShot and Seeker Software. A respected thought leader in the software-as-a-service (SaaS) industry, Reid has won multiple CEO leadership awards, including Best CEO in the Financials Industry, CEO of the year for Small- and Medium-sized companies on Glassdoor and Best CEO for Women.

“I could not be more excited to join the Impartner board and help champion the company’s long-term success as a global channel management technology leader,” said Reid. “Having led so many companies that sell through the channel, I believe Impartner is in a unique position to revolutionize how corporations optimize what is generally 75 percent or more of revenue that flows through their indirect channels.”
