We have tremendous technology used by over 3,300 partners and we will continue to build best-in-class technology.”

Her responsibilities at Continuum range from leading the marketing team to enhancing its initiatives to fuel partner growth with end users, while strengthening alignment with other product, engineering and service delivery groups.

They are both great leaders with an uncommon grasp of what it takes to win internally and externally.
