Demandware’s Partnership Legend Tom Griffin Reveals How to Build Real Leverage – Not Logo Soup

Darrell Rosenstein Season 2 Episode 34

  • Why Demandware’s partner ecosystem became legendary (and how to copy it)
  • The 4 types of partnerships most founders confuse – and which ones actually drive revenue
  • The expensive mistakes he’s made (and seen) building go-to-market from zero
  • How to de-risk global supply chains in the middle of tariff chaos
  • Where AI and agentic commerce are hitting cross-border logistics first
  • Building a truly global culture when your company is multinational from day one
  • Bonus: untold stories from the 2025 Demandware reunion

If you’re a founder, CRO, head of alliances, or trying to scale internationally in 2026, this episode is pure rocket fuel.
