Tanguy Le Roux did not come from a traditional marketing background. After starting in banking and auditing, then moving into sales and partner management, he transitioned into partner marketing when relocating from France to the United States. That unconventional path helped shape a unique approach to B2B marketing built around creativity, relationships, and experience driven engagement.
In this episode of B2B Marketing Unlocked, Tanguy joins host Jony Mansilla to break down how partner marketing helps win enterprise deals at HCL Software. He shares how his team approaches niche face to face events, why creativity and customer experience matter more than ever, and how partner marketing requires balancing flexibility with scalable processes. Tanguy also explains how local relationship building outperforms broad campaigns in many enterprise environments, how he creates memorable event experiences without massive budgets, and why adaptability is becoming one of the most important skills in modern marketing.
