Stitch, a marketing technology consultancy that offers comprehensive services around the Braze customer engagement platform, announced the addition of Sanja Partalo to its Board of Directors.
July 23rd, 2024 (Indianapolis) — Stitch, a marketing technology consultancy focused on helping marketers drive customer engagement success with Braze, announced the addition of Sanja Partalo to its Board of Directors.
In addition to serving on the Stitch Board of Directors, Partalo leads S4S Ventures, a venture capital firm focused on early-stage companies that are leading transformation in the marketing and advertising sector. Prior to leading S4S Ventures, Sanja served as an executive at marketing giant WPP, leading strategic development and partnerships.
“Sanja is the perfect addition to our Board as we continue on our path of accelerated growth,” said Michael Burton, chief executive officer at Stitch. “With her background and deep experience in the marketing technology industry, especially within tech partner ecosystems, she is exactly the right person to push us and challenge us to improve. Not only does her background make her an exceptional fit for Stitch, but she also has an incredible background and story. We are thrilled to have her on the Board.”
Partalo joins Mike Fitzgerald and Eric Tobias from High Alpha as external members of the Stitch Board of Directors.
“When I’m looking for companies to get involved with, I look for two things: good people, and the potential to create a best in class, disruptive offering,” shared Partalo on her decision to join the Stitch Board of Directors.
“Stitch checked both of those boxes,” elaborated Partalo. ”Not only are the leaders at Stitch deeply experienced, they have built a strong culture rooted in a desire to consistently push harder for their customers and deliver exceptional value. Braze is the next gen orchestration platform and Stitch is a driving force within the Braze partner ecosystem.
The Stitch team is doing things differently, and it is paying off.”
Stitch launched in 2022 as a boutique marketing technology consultancy focused on composable solutions. The company has experienced exponential growth since narrowing its focus as a Braze partner in May 2023, offering comprehensive services around Braze and its integration partners. Since announcing their partnership, Stitch has achieved Orbit status as a Braze partner — the highest attainable tier of partnership within the Braze partner ecosystem.
In addition to the formal partnership with Braze, Stitch also recently welcomed the inaugural cohort of its TopStitch program, an accelerated training program to develop the next generation of Braze consultants, and joined forces with G2 to form a Braze Consulting Services category.
“It’s been a privilege to partner with the Stitch team,” shared Eric Tobias on being on the Stitch Board of Directors. “They are an experienced team that has seen tremendous growth and success over the last 2 years. Having Sanja on the Board will take all of us to the next level as Stitch continues to grow. Her insights and experience will be invaluable, and we are excited to see her impact on the ever-evolving Stitch story.”
