Smartsheet Launches Partner Executive Advisory Council

We’re excited to announce the launch of the Smartsheet Aligned Partner Executive Advisory Council (PEAC)—a key strategic initiative designed to deepen collaboration, strengthen alignment, and accelerate growth across our global partner ecosystem.

The PEAC brings together a formal group of senior executives from key Smartsheet Aligned Partners who will collaborate directly with our leadership team on high-impact topics related to our Partner Strategy, Partner Program, and Go-To-Market priorities. This select group will play a critical role in helping shape the future of our partner ecosystem by offering insights, sharing expertise, and providing direct feedback in a structured and collaborative forum. PEAC members are expected to serve for at least one year, contributing actively to ongoing discussions and strategic planning.

"We’ve reached a pivotal moment in the evolution of our partner ecosystem,” said Eva Schoenleitner, VP of Worldwide Partnerships at Smartsheet. “The launch of the PEAC reflects our commitment to building stronger, more strategic partnerships that go beyond execution—we’re inviting our top partners to help co-create the future with us."

Why PEAC Matters

As we continue to scale our partner ecosystem globally, the PEAC will serve as a critical mechanism for two-way dialogue and joint planning. It ensures that the voices of our top partners are heard, valued, and embedded into the decisions that shape our platform, programs, and customer experience.

The benefits for participating partners are significant:

  • Executive Visibility and Relationships
    Build meaningful connections with Smartsheet’s senior leadership.
  • Influence Strategic Initiatives
    Help shape the direction of our Partner Strategy, Program, and go-to-market efforts.
  • Early Access to Insights
    Gain visibility into key plans, program updates, and market trends before they go live.
  • Stronger Business Alignment
    Align closely with Smartsheet’s direction to drive stronger joint planning and execution.
  • Industry Recognition and Thought Leadership
    Be recognized as a strategic voice in the Smartsheet ecosystem.
  • Peer Networking and Collaboration
    Connect with other top-tier partners to share best practices.

 

“The PEAC is more than a council—it’s a partnership accelerator,” added Schoenleitner. “We’re excited to work side by side with our partner executives to innovate, align, and deliver even more value to our customers.”
