About Me

Meet Your Strategic Partnerships Consultant

Larissa Buch - Partnership & Operations Expert

I'm Larissa Buch

With 20+ years of experience as a strategic partnerships consultant at disruptive Tech and SaaS companies like GSI Commerce (acquired by eBay) and JOOR, I've helped organizations build revenue-generating partnership ecosystems, mobilize cross-functional teams, drive execution, and create repeatable processes that deliver measurable business impact.

Great strategic partnerships require more than strategy—they demand intuition and expertise. As a seasoned partnership consultant, I identify the right Tech and SaaS partners and leverage deep industry instinct to navigate the complexities that make or break strategic business alliances and drive revenue growth.

I specialize in building strategic revenue-generating partnerships for Tech and SaaS companies, aligning cross-functional teams around partnership goals, and creating scalable operational systems. My partnership consulting approach combines strategic partnership development with tactical execution to deliver measurable revenue results and sustainable business growth.
