The team

Two decades in the channel. Each.

DemandVector is built by two seasoned professionals with over twenty years apiece in channel and marketing: one from the revenue and program side, one from the platform and engineering side. Two halves of the same problem, and a shared decade spent building partner programs for the world's biggest brands.
