Amanda Nielsen
I’m Amanda Nielsen — a partnerships strategist, career mentor, and meme-loving ecomm founder. I currently lead partner enablement at Box and have built and scaled partnerships at Formstack, Revenue Grid, and beyond.
I’ve hired for partnerships roles, advised SaaS companies on building scalable programs, and helped dozens of professionals pivot into this field with confidence.
I built this course because partnerships is still one of the most misunderstood — and most high-leverage — career paths out there. This is the guide I wish I had when I was starting out: no fluff, no gatekeeping, just real tools to help you land the role and thrive in it.
