Professional Accomplishments- Jason Meshberg

Partner Awareness: Prior to my joining Percona, they had ZERO partner presence at our Open Source conference.  Formerly the MySQL conference and re branded as Percona Live is a large open source community event.    I pressed and overcame a few rounds of internal barriers to raise awareness of the work we were doing with strategic and resell partners.  (Note:  AWS awarded strategic partner of the year) https://www.percona.com/blog/percona-honors-top-partners-at-percona-live-2022/

OEM Alliance: I closed the deal with Western Digital shortly after I joined the team at Percona where I served as Head of Channels.   This project launched and the partnership was covered on several technical news sites. The marketing outcomes are obvious and beneificial.   Commercial specific cannot be shared.           TECH ZINE https://www.techzine.eu/news/ infrastructure/60619/western- digital-and-percona-improve- mysql-performance-by-factor- of-three/          ZD NET   https://www.zdnet.com/article/western-digital-partners-with-percona-to-optimize-drives-for-mysql/  

I have the skills and drive to MAKE NEWS vs REPORTING NEWS MARKETPLACES :   These following are Percona products and services that I (and eventually a 2nd employee) platformed at Percona  .               AWS Marketplace: https://aws.amazon.com/ marketplace/seller-profile?id= ebb45d8b-14ce-4c17-9aa0- d25e98318ece Percona platformed on RedHat.      https://marketplace.redhat. com/en-us/products/percona- server-for-mongodb Percona on Azure:  https://azuremarketplace. microsoft.com/en/marketplace/ apps/percona.pmm_2?tab= overview    I made the decision to focus our team's energy on goodness with AWS vs okay-ness with all marketplaces.  Given that I worked with many borrowed resources, and taking a page from constraint theory: It was our team's best way to victory.
