David Gray

VP of Partner Marketing at Publicis Groupe

As a marketer with sales DNA, I bring a record of success and expertise in building sales enablement programs that amplify relationships and pipeline acceleration. Leading by example, I apply a collaborative approach to move past complex challenges -- a cornerstone in my reputation for inspiring standout results and bringing out the very best through key contributors. I excel at serving all client-facing sellers to maximize results, leveraging a solid background in B2B solution sales and field marketing. Coaching individuals and teams has offered me great opportunities to curate and expand key centers of excellence from Field Marketing to Marketing Operations, Event Marketing, and Partner-Channel Marketing. With Partner-Channel Marketing I’ve helped the org open new strategic channels of growth and distribution. Marketing ‘To’ sales, marketing ‘with’ partners, and marketing ‘through’ joint solutions have been my core focus and approach to partner-channel marketing growth. A key strength (Strengths Finder 2.0) of mine is as a Connector; ‘a leader in building teams, one who breaks down silos that prevent shared knowledge and builds bridges between people and groups’ – I’m driven by uniting people and ideas that empower action and drive progress. Collaboration, integrity, spirit, and progress are the tenants of my outlook, with a strong sense of curiosity and bias for delivering results.
