In this episode of Partnerships Unraveled, we sit down with Adam Winston, Field CTO at WatchGuard. From scaling a services business to $12M in annual revenue to driving innovation at WatchGuard, Adam shares what it really takes to build trust when you are in an industry as high-stakes as security.

Channel professionals will hear a candid take on the uncomfortable truths that shape partner programs. How financial perspectives shape the reality of the channel. Why vendors burn goodwill when they push “specials” that feel like leftovers. And what it looks like to design partner engagement around MSP economics, not product slides. Adam also breaks down practical enablement tactics like the “placemat strategy,” plus where he sees the biggest opportunity for MSPs over the next 3 to 5 years as AI changes the work and consolidation accelerates. Expect sharp stories, operator-grade advice, and ideas you can apply to partner strategy right away.
