In a rare moment, our co-founder and Chief Ecosystem Officer, Jared Fuller, was speechless as he was presented with the SaaSy Sales Leadership Award.

The award goes out to individuals who’ve demonstrated exceptional professional progress and made significant contributions to the community.

Jared started the Nearbound Podcast (previously called PartnerUp podcast) two years ago while working at Drift. The PartnerUp podcast has now become the largest partnerships podcast in the world. It unpacks how world-class partner ecosystems emerge organically.

In February 2022, he launched the Nearbound Daily Newsletter (previously called PhD Daily) with Isaac Morehouse, and in April, they launched the PartnerHacker.com site (soon to become nearbound.com in 2023)  and full-on media and events company for the era of partner ecosystems.

In just three quarters, the PH community has exploded, and we’ve hosted (with our great partners!) not one but TWO record-breaking events, and published a best-selling book.

This all came about because Jared was relentlessly curious and committed to learning out loud about how to win with partnerships.

Congratulations, Jared, on receiving this epic award! 🎉
