Stryde Solutions, LLC has been recognized as the Fastest Growing AWS Partner Development Firm in North America 2025 by Insider Weekly, marking a significant milestone for the woman-owned business less than a year after its launch.
The Santa Rosa Beach, Florida-based firm, founded by industry veterans Kristin Taner, M.A. and Taylor Salazar in September 2025, has rapidly established itself as a leader in partner development services for enterprise companies seeking to accelerate their channel and alliance revenue through strategic AWS partnerships.
“Partner ecosystems are becoming increasingly more complex, with enterprises under growing pressure to unlock new revenue streams and strengthen their market reach through strategic partnerships,” said Kristin Taner, Co-Founder of Stryde Solutions and former Chief Marketing Officer at a leading SAP managed services provider. “At Stryde Solutions, we help clients scale their partner programs by combining automation, proven strategy, and expert execution—to drive real sales growth for our clients.”
The recognition comes as businesses increasingly turn to specialized firms for partner development expertise rather than relying on traditional hiring models. Stryde Solutions has positioned itself to meet this demand by offering a comprehensive suite of services designed specifically for companies navigating the AWS Partner Network ecosystem.
Taner brings over two decades of experience in corporate marketing and sales enablement to the venture, including 15 years dedicated to SAP ERP software, managed services, and cloud technologies. She has worked with some of the largest technology brands globally and earned back-to-back Google Cloud Partner of the Year for SAP awards.
Her co-founder Taylor Salazar adds deep enterprise sales expertise, having achieved over 500% quota attainment across multiple years. Salazar is recognized for building trusted relationships with top cloud partner sales organizations throughout the United States.
“Stryde Solutions is mission built for companies that need more than introductions—they need measurable revenue growth. Our approach goes beyond networking by empowering organizations to accelerate pipeline development, strengthen alliances, and drive scalable, long-term success,” said Salazar. “We embed into your organization as an extension of your internal team, apply proven processes that ultimately accelerate results.”
The firm’s service portfolio spans the full spectrum of AWS partner development, from onboarding and alliance program design to co-sell strategies and marketplace offerings. Services include streamlined onboarding processes tailored for AWS Partners, strategic alliance program implementation, channel sales enablement, and go-to-market strategy development.
Stryde Solutions also provides execution support for co-sell initiatives with AWS, partner marketing campaign management, automated workflow implementation, and assistance with creating and promoting solutions on the AWS Marketplace.
“We’re incredibly proud and excited to launch Stryde Solutions as a woman-owned business built on years of experience, a shared vision and passion for helping companies reach their full potential,” said the co-founders. “After years of working across marketing, sales, and partner ecosystems, we saw a clear gap—companies need niche, experienced, execution-focused partner development solutions that do not rely on traditional hiring models.”
The company’s approach combines people and technology to automate processes while reducing the risk associated with full-time employee hiring. This model has resonated with high-growth technology organizations seeking agile, outcome-driven AWS partnership strategies that deliver measurable ROI.
As a proud AWS APN Partner, Stryde Solutions continues to expand its reach across North America, helping enterprise clients strengthen their market position through strategic partnerships in an increasingly competitive cloud services landscape.
