In this month’s edition of our Employee Spotlight series, we caught up with Amelia Glynn, Senior Director of Partner Recruitment. Learn about how Acceleration Partners (AP) set Amelia up for long-term success and career growth, and why she ultimately decided to return to AP as part of our Grovia by Acceleration Partners client services team.
Welcome to our Employee Spotlight series! Tell us a little bit about what you do as Senior Director of Partner Recruitment.
As Senior Director of Partner Recruitment, I lead the client services team for
Grovia by Acceleration Partners, an organization AP recently acquired in April of 2022. My role within the team is to ensure we’re delivering exemplary services to the brands we work with through high-caliber
recruitment and partner relationship strategies.
I’m also hyper-focused on integrating the super star team of ‘Grovians’ into the larger AP organization. My goal is to ensure we bridge the two organizations together from a
culture standpoint, and to leverage both business’s expertise in their respective spaces to help the overall organization excel and improve.
You recently came back to Acceleration Partners after leaving for a little – what made you want to come back to work at AP?
So many things! I quite honestly missed A LOT about AP while I was gone. I was very lucky for the opportunity to work with an amazing organization and people during my time outside of AP. I was able to further sharpen my B2B and lead gen affiliate skills, which has been tremendously helpful in my new role back at AP.
In terms of why I came back, I had been with AP for five years before departing last December, and during those five years, I was able to grow into the marketer, professional and leader I truly wanted to be, largely due to the coaching and support I received. AP’s focus on developing their teams, coupled with supplying hands on, ongoing coaching for anyone managing people was instrumental in my ability to find my voice, gain confidence and slowly chip away at the imposter syndrome that had plagued me previously.
AP’s
leadership team does such a fantastic job of creating a culture where individuals are encouraged to be themselves, speak their mind and challenge the status quo, and I value these attributes tremendously. All of that, coupled with missing the fun stuff, like our hub events, our Annual Wellness Challenge and
AP Summit gave me all the FOMO I needed to come running back when I learned about the amazing opportunity to lead the Grovia client services team—a new role that would once again allow me the opportunity to continue my growth by working with an amazing team and learning from the best leaders in the business.
