This week I pick up where last week’s conversation with Ellen Daley left off. As I mentioned last week, Ellen was the CEO of Acorio, a ServiceNow consultancy that became ServiceNow’s largest boutique partner.
This week’s episode discusses the ins and outs of building a partner-centric professional services business. These partner-centric models revolve around a product company that uses services providers to provide consultative help to their mutual clients and perform implementation or integration work to make clients successful.

Today I'm joined by Aater Suleman, an experienced professional services founder of the firm Flux7 that NTT Data acquired in 2019. Aater is now helping other professional services founders through his accelerator, Vixul. Think of it as the Y Combinator of IT services.
In the podcast, Aater and I discuss remote work, culture building, and his experiences in founding and growing Flux7, which was fully remote from the start.
