ClearSale
Head of Partnerships and Alliances |

The past 18 years have had a common combined theme of ecommerce and entrepreneurial projects. Denise’s first foray into ecommerce was with Digital River where she ran the affiliate programs for SMB (small medium businesses). As affiliate marketing was a new concept at this time, and there was not a dedicated team at the start. Denise learned to get creative and scrappy to get projects completed, ultimately building out a budget, team and ability to launch a network of nearly 250,000 projects in the catalog and 70,000 affiliates taking part. This role enabled her to travel globally and learn business practices in places like Russia, China and several parts of Europe.
After leaving Digital River, Denise ventured over to the startup side to be the first employee hired for the FuturePay team, an alternative financing payment option. Heading up Business Development, a team of 24 employees was put together to run operations over the next 6 years, ultimately ending with a sale of the company. From there, Denise moved to the fraud fighting side of ecommerce where she currently heads up Partnerships for ClearSale, a fraud prevention company. Outside of work life, Denise loves being a mom, cooking, riding bikes, playing and watching volleyball and snuggling up with her two Scottish terriers whenever possible. |
