At McAfee, strong partnerships play a key role in bringing security to millions of people around the world.
One team member working at the center of that impact supports global OEM partnerships — helping bridge product innovation, business strategy, and marketing to deliver security solutions directly to customers.
From shaping new product experiences to building long‑term partner relationships, Grace's work focuses on creating value that extends beyond a single product — and into meaningful, scalable growth.
Driving Growth Through Partnership
Working in OEM Channel Marketing, she collaborates closely with partner teams across software, engineering, and marketing to drive adoption of McAfee solutions. Internally, she partners across functions to turn global strategy into clear, executable plans, while supporting regional efforts across APAC and EMEA.
A key focus of her role is expanding partnerships in a highly competitive environment — where success depends on building trust, aligning priorities, and clearly communicating long‑term value.
“Expanding our partnership by bringing together product, strategy, and a clear story is both challenging and deeply rewarding.”
That work often means connecting the dots across product capabilities, go‑to‑market strategy, and business priorities to create a shared vision that partners can act on.
Turning Ideas Into Impact
One recent example of that impact came through a new product initiative developed in collaboration with a key partner.
After years of advocacy, the project moved forward — and from the earliest stages, she and her team helped shape the direction by introducing a product experience proposal before development began. By providing a clear prototype early, they were able to influence how the product evolved and ensure it aligned with McAfee’s approach to delivering value.
The result is a product experience that more effectively communicates the benefits of security to users — helping more people understand, adopt, and stay protected.
Making Security More Accessible
Helping partners understand the importance of cybersecurity is a core part of the role — especially as threats continue to evolve.
By working closely with partners to communicate the value of protection through the right messaging and channels, she helps ensure that users can take action before they are at risk.
Powered by Collaboration and Trust
Success in this space is deeply collaborative. Working as part of a small, cross‑functional team, she highlights trust and transparency as key to delivering results.
The team operates with a clear understanding of shared priorities, enabling quick decisions and strong alignment — both internally and with partners. That consistency across teams helps drive meaningful progress and long‑term success.
The same sense of trust extends across McAfee’s culture.
Since joining, her role has evolved significantly — spanning markets, business models, and increasing levels of responsibility. Throughout those changes, she has been trusted to take ownership, grow into new challenges, and build expertise across the business.
Growing Through Experience
A defining influence on her career has been learning how to approach partnerships with clarity and foresight.
By anticipating what partners need and reducing friction in decision‑making, she focuses on creating proposals that are clear, structured, and easy to act on — helping ideas move forward more effectively.
That mindset continues to shape how she builds alignment and delivers value today.
Recharging Through Creativity
Outside of work, she recharges through creative experiences like theatre — from musicals and opera to plays and dance performances.
It’s a space for inspiration and reflection, and more recently, something she’s begun sharing with her daughter — turning it into a meaningful way to connect outside of work.
