Max Kirby’s Expertise WHAT I'VE LEARNED In GSIs, tech platforms, and startups, I've learned that today's everything-as-a-service era means that the best way to solve a problem is to get *multiple* companies and organizations working together. We live and work in technology ecosystems. Achieving growth within them hinges on merging product and partnership lenses, providing cooperation to a competitive market. Mentorship from C-level veterans and founders over the years has trained me in the solutions-driven partnership approach. My career has focused on leading the GTM, Solution Architecture, and Partnership Strategy of these relationships, blending product-as-a-service/cloud and product-specific services/GSI for optimal outcomes. With 12 years in the field, my roles have spanned technology partnerships, product advisory, and solutions architecture. I've built a 100M technology service business, developed ecosystem partnership strategies at C-suite and board levels for SaaS, and led cross-functional and cross-company teams in delivering Cloud, Customer Data Platform, and Language AI solutions. CONVICTIONS Maintaining customer knowledge is the only advantage that enhances all other advantages. Design-thinkers should focus on 'why', systems-thinkers on 'what'. Reverse at your peril. Technical people should never report to non-technical people. We overestimate people's ability to metabolize change. Leadership means simplifying tool and team selection. All things held equal, people buy from their friends. Manage the reasons people do not act: lack of time, knowledge, or motivation. Growth isn’t a cure all, but lack of growth is often a kill-all. PREDICTIONS Semantic Business Transformation, or structuring semantic meaning out of data, will overtake Digital Transformation work in the next three years. LLM-accessible endpoints will replace the current notion of integrations. CDPs will become systems of meaning in ~5 years, and then become merged with knowledge graphs. In 10 years we will come to see the government as paperwork waiting to be automated, the law as system permissions and nations as servers. STRENGTHS Strategic Technology Partnerships NLP Solutions Customer Data Platforms Professional Cloud Services Technology Ecosystems Digital Identity & Privacy Leadership and Philosophy Balancing Nonprofit and Profit Mindsets Natural communicator, strategic thinker, and problem-solver in ambiguous situations. GREATEST PROFESSIONAL ACHIEVEMENT Every person who has reported to me has become a success story.
