Power Circle sessions

Three roundtables. One table. No slides.

Our team is hosting three moderated Power Circle conversations at Catalyst 2026. Here's what each one covers, and who's leading it.

Session 1

AI, Scoring, and the Future of Partner Experiences

Josh Ruffner
Enterprise Sales Leader, Mindmatrix; Founder & CEO, EarMarkz

Josh Ruffner leads Mindmatrix's enterprise sales organization and has closed large-scale partner platform engagements with Fortune 500 companies. He's also founder and CEO of EarMarkz, bringing a ground-level view of where AI is genuinely changing partner selling.

Attendees will leave knowing how to:
  • Score partners on predictive signals (engagement, deal velocity, certification progress) instead of lagging revenue reports
  • Flag disengaged partners before they go dark, using behavioral data instead of gut instinct
  • Attribute deal credit accurately across the partner lifecycle, so sales and partner teams stop arguing over who sourced what
  • Automate onboarding and certification so AI carries the manual load instead of headcount
  • Evaluate what "AI-native" actually means for a partner program, versus what's just a layer bolted onto legacy PRM
Session 2

The AI-Driven Rise of Partner Ecosystem-Led Growth

Vaughn Mordecai
Chief Revenue Officer, Mindmatrix

Vaughn Mordecai is Chief Revenue Officer at Mindmatrix, owning sales, marketing, and partnerships as one connected revenue engine. He previously spent 12 years as President of Discovery Research Group and served as CRO at bChannels, a channel marketing business.

Attendees will leave knowing how to:
  • Identify and prioritize multi-partner and partner-influenced pipeline, balanced against direct-selling opportunities
  • Resolve attribution disputes between direct and partner-sourced deals with one shared source of truth
  • Build the business case that proves partnerships drive revenue, so your CRO stops treating the function as overhead
  • Get sales and partner teams reporting off the same pipeline numbers instead of competing spreadsheets
  • Apply AI-driven lead routing and deal scoring to move ecosystem orchestration from manual to automatic
Session 3

Scaled, Personalized, and Localized: AI-Powered Co-Marketing at Speed

Josh Hutchison
VP of Enterprise Sales and Customer Success, Mindmatrix

Josh Hutchison is VP of Enterprise Sales and Customer Success at Mindmatrix, working at the intersection of partner success, sales, and marketing execution. With over 10 years in partnerships, he's in the room where co-marketing campaigns actually get built and tested.

Attendees will leave knowing how to:
  • Launch co-branded campaigns partners can localize and personalize without diluting brand consistency
  • Cut campaign build and launch time using AI-generated content partners will actually use
  • Tie MDF spend to closed-loop performance data instead of impressions and guesswork
  • Scale personalized, localized content across hundreds of partners without scaling headcount
  • Separate real AI co-marketing capability from vendor hype when evaluating tools
