CrowdStrike has announced the promotion of Amanda Adams to Senior Vice President of Global Alliances. In this elevated role, Adams will oversee the company's global alliances strategy and lead the continued expansion of its partner ecosystem. Adams, who formerly served as Vice President of Americas Alliances, takes over for Michael Rogers, who is retiring following an eight-year tenure in various leadership capacities at the organization.
Amanda Adams is promoted to SVP of Global Alliances to drive global ecosystem growth.
Adams succeeds Michael Rogers, who is retiring after nearly eight years with the company.
The MSSP business grew from under $100 million to over $1.3 billion in three years.
FY26 saw nearly $1.5 billion in total contract value through the AWS Marketplace.
New initiatives include expanding Next-Gen SIEM adoption via global system integrators.
CrowdStrike has expanded its reach into the Microsoft Marketplace to leverage Azure commitments.
Throughout her nearly decade-long career at CrowdStrike, Adams has held roles ranging from individual contributor to regional and national leadership. Her tenure has been marked by significant scaling of the partner network, with many partners identifying CrowdStrike as their primary cybersecurity business. This leadership transition comes at a time when the CrowdStrike Falcon platform is increasingly becoming the foundation for rapidly growing security practices globally.
"Amanda builds trust, leads with vision, and delivers at scale. Our partners and teams know her the same way I do," said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike. "Amanda is a key ingredient of our ecosystem success, and as we extend our leadership across AI, cloud, and Next-Gen SIEM, I know she'll continue to raise the bar for what our partnerships deliver."
Under Adams’ direction, CrowdStrike has achieved remarkable growth across several key routes to market. The company’s managed security service provider (MSSP) business reached over $1.3 billion in total contract value as of the fourth quarter of 2026. Furthermore, the organization has solidified its presence on major cloud platforms, generating nearly $1.5 billion through the AWS Marketplace in FY26, representing a 50 percent year-over-year increase.
The alliances strategy also includes expanding "co-opetition" within the ecosystem. By listing on the Microsoft Marketplace, CrowdStrike now allows customers to apply Azure Consumption Commitment dollars toward the Falcon platform. This alignment across leading cloud providers simplifies the procurement process for enterprises seeking to consolidate their security stack.
A primary focus for the alliances team moving forward will be the acceleration of Next-Gen SIEM adoption. CrowdStrike is collaborating with major global system integrators, including Accenture, Deloitte, EY, and HCLTech, to transition thousands of customers to the Falcon Next-Gen SIEM solution. This effort is aimed at helping organizations modernize their security operations and stop breaches at scale.
“I’m honored to step into this role as our ecosystem operates at scale, becoming an even greater driver of innovation and growth,” said Amanda Adams, senior vice president of global alliances at CrowdStrike. “By expanding hyperscaler and marketplace partnerships and accelerating GSI, MSSP, and channel momentum, we’re scaling how customers adopt the Falcon platform.”
