Featured Guest:
Danielle James
IT Sales and Alliances Leader. Author of "Collaboration is where IT's at."

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) metrics are key values for investors and a growing number of corporations globally. What does this mean for private enterprises and what role does partnering play in reaching their ESG objectives? How does - or should - ESG affect our partnering decisions and the business climate in which we collaborate? Are ESG metrics part of your partnering practices already? If not, what’s your next move?

About our featured guest:
Danielle started her career in the IT industry in 1995. With a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental and Resource Management, she drives for triple win outcomes, optimising results for all parties to an alliance. She has held management positions in APAC for large, medium and start-up vendors such as IBM, Oracle, Infor and Ephesoft, and in 1997 co-created and launched a decision support software product based on multi criteria analysis which was applied to complex resource management challenges such as the Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia.

With experience in direct business-to-business solutions sales, challenger sales, and marketing, Danielle adapted naturally to work with alliances as her career unfolded. In 2021 her book "Collaboration is where IT's at. How IT vendors can increase customer satisfaction and grow more rapidly by building successful alliance ecosystems." was published. In 2022/23 she applied her alliances experience to craft the first ESG Alliances Plan for KPMG, its GTM Strategy subsequently adopted by KPMG globally.
