Welcome to another Life at Blink! Today, we’re thrilled to shine a spotlight on one of our key team members. Sloan Kendall is the Head of Global Partnerships based out of our Boston office. With nearly a year at Blink, Sloan has been instrumental in forging impactful relationships across the industry and driving our global partnerships strategy forward. She describes Blink as a passionate, fast, and fun workplace.
Let’s explore Sloan’s journey at Blink and what she believes makes Blink special.
What initially attracted you to join Blink?
It was clear throughout my interview process and early days in the role that Blink was solving for a unique business challenge. Not just by providing a piece of technology, but because of our ability to show tangible impact on how frontline organizations get work done and what optimizing that employee experience can do for the bottom line. Specifically to my role, I’m always drawn to the opportunity to build something from the ground up.
Equally, it’s evident that our go-to-market strategy is so well suited for an ecosystem of alliance and technology partners. There is no shortage of consultants, system integrators, and complementary technology providers that want to help customers optimize their frontline experience. That shared vision is really inspiring!
What’s a project you are proud of from your time at Blink?
I’m really encouraged by our team’s commitment to and excitement for collaborating with partners. It’s a new motion for the business — and we’ve seen not just our go-to-market and delivery teams embrace the change with open arms, but also our product, engineering, and operational teams. In my experience, that embrace is the biggest difference-maker for impacting revenue growth and customer experience.
What's one thing you’re excited about for the future of Blink?
Even in my relatively short time at Blink, there has been a notable market shift. Engaging the frontline is not a nice-to-have — it’s so clearly a business imperative. We’ve been bullish on that since day one and that growth commitment gets deeper daily with the incredible work we see from our customers, the perspective we gain from our partners, and the business opportunity we hear described in discussions with prospective new customers.
Can you tell us about a recent initiative or program launched at Blink that you found particularly exciting?
Our product team’s overall response to the needs of those migrating from Workplace has been so impressive. We’ve remained true to what we believe will be game changing solutions for frontline-centric organizations, while balancing the need for new features and functionality Workplace users know and love. The extensibility of our platform is such a differentiator and what gets me (and our partners) so excited for the road ahead.
Why do you work for Blink?
At this stage in my career, I’m seeking a balance of opportunity, challenge and fun. I want to feel like we’re working towards something meaningful, while being pushed to think differently or execute faster, all while having a few laughs in between. Blink, for me, has shown it’s got all these key ingredients in the stew!
As we wrap up this glimpse into Blink through the lens of our Head of Global Partnerships, it’s clear that our commitment to innovation, partnership, and exceptional employee experience drives everything we do. From building impactful solutions to fostering a dynamic and supportive culture, Blink is not just a company; it's a vibrant community dedicated to making a real difference.
