Dustin Nelson, Sales Director at CDW, Joins Ultimate Guide to Partnering®

I’m thrilled to share my interview with Dustin Nelson, Sales Director at CDW, recorded live at Google Cloud’s Marketplace Exchange! Dustin dives into how CDW has embraced the marketplace model to meet customers’ evolving needs in today’s SaaS-driven world, where cloud marketplaces are transforming how organizations buy, manage, and scale solutions.

Dustin shares CDW’s journey of building a dedicated team to support Google Cloud Marketplace transactions, which has led to impressive growth: over $400 million in marketplace business and 500 transactions this year alone. With customers now at the center, Dustin emphasizes that open collaboration between Google, ISVs, and partners like CDW is crucial for delivering enhanced value and transaction flexibility.

For organizations planning their 2025 marketplace strategy, Dustin advises embracing collaboration and focusing on customer-centric approaches to stay ahead in this fast-evolving ecosystem. Tune into this Ultimate Guide to Partnering episode to hear how CDW is sparking the marketplace ecosystem!
