Irka T.
Lead Partnership Outreach | Ex-Venture Capital, Tech AI
I’ve been in partnerships & business development roles for 4+ years. Competitor research, defining buyer personas, and targeting the right people with the right message are my day-to-day. I focus on building outreach that actually gets responses - whether it’s through LinkedIn or cold email. I’m very strong with LinkedIn Sales Navigator and use it extensively to find and qualify high-fit partners and leads. I’ve managed outreach pipelines end-to-end, from prospecting and first touch to follow-ups and turning conversations into real opportunities. Right now, I’m running partnership outreach campaigns with ~33% open rates. I also use AI tools to streamline workflows, personalize outreach at scale, and reduce manual errors - helping keep everything efficient and consistent. I’m big on consistency, structured workflows, and follow-ups - because that’s usually where most of the results come from. Always open to connecting with people in partnerships, growth, and ecommerce.
