    Stewart Townsend is the founder at Channel as a Service, a “results oriented” consultancy service for startups & mature companies to enable them to increase revenue through the right growth channel via an indirect sales force. 

    Stewart has spent 20 years working in channel roles and has specialised in accelerating revenue at global SaaS companies through the building and running of indirect sales programs since then. 

    His focus is working with SaaS companies who are at that point where they are looking at indirect sales channels, have enquiries from potential partners and are uncertain where to start.

    Having worked at large multinational corporations for over 15 years then transitioned into two large startups who went through acquisition and IPO, Stewart has the experience and knowledge to get things done within a small team environment but also own a global partnership relationship and drive that top-down.
