Maisa Fernandez
Palo Alto Networks | Sr. Director Global Partner Marketing

Maisa just made one of the more interesting moves in partner marketing, transitioning from ServiceNow to take on a senior leadership role at Palo Alto Networks.

She has operated across every partner type, and understands that each requires a completely different strategy. That cross-ecosystem experience is rare and it is exactly what makes this conversation worth having.

We’ll sit down with Maisa for a private fireside chat and open Q&A. Bring the questions about what it looks like to build and scale partner programs inside two of the biggest names in enterprise tech, what transfers, what does not, and what she would do differently.

What This Is About


We are putting a small group of tech partner marketers in a room with Maisa Fernandez, Sr. Director of Global Partner Marketing at Palo Alto Networks, for a private fireside chat, open Q&A and great food and drinks.

This is a private cocktail hour for tech partner marketers who manage partner relationships, fight for MDF budget, navigate sales alignment, and spend a meaningful portion of their week explaining what partner marketing even is to people who should already know.

The room is small on purpose. We review every RSVP. Once you're confirmed, you'll get the venue address by email.
