Celebrate and Elevate: Hitting the Ground Running in 2025 with Partners 

The atmosphere was electric as partners from around the globe gathered at our recent Five9 Sales Kickoff (SKO). With our reimagined brand identity as the backdrop, we witnessed something remarkable: the power of collaboration bringing The New CX to life. 

Partners at the heart of transformation 

Every successful transformation has heroes working to make it all happen. At Five9, we’re privileged to work with these heroes—our partners—who are revolutionizing customer experiences across industries. It was an incredible honor to recognize the real impact our twenty-five Global Partner Award winners create for their customers every day. 

Five9 SKO brought together our global sales team and vibrant partner ecosystem, allowing us to connect, collaborate, and elevate our success with partners. The atmosphere was electric, filled with inspiration and a collective enthusiasm for where we were going. Special thank you to our incredible partner sponsors who added to the excitement with the powerful Partner Pavilion, which helped showcase partner integrations and connections with sales to help amplify joint selling and collaboration. The twenty-five Five9 Global Partner Awards recognize partners who have showcased outstanding commitment, innovation, and partnership with Five9.  

Every year, I am proud to celebrate our global partner award winners who have set the bar high for delivering exceptional value to our customers. Each partner has demonstrated their unique capabilities and a shared commitment to delivering transformative solutions that redefine customer engagement. Each winner has made a distinct impact within our ecosystem, and it was truly inspiring to witness their achievements recognized on such a prominent stage. 

“We believe customer experience is the driving force behind business success and our partner ecosystem is central to this mission,” said Jake Butterbaugh, SVP Global Partner Organization, Five9. “Together, we empower enterprises to deliver outstanding CX by embracing innovation and a shared vision for success. Our collaborative approach accelerates cloud transformations, ensures seamless deployments, and provides deeper insights for our customers. It’s an honor to celebrate our Global Partner Award winners, who exemplify the excellence and values driving exceptional customer experiences.” 

Collaborative vision for the future 

Our Annual Five9 Global Partner Advisory Board meeting continued this momentum. Top channel and global system integrator partners gathered to share insights and best practices, collaboratively identifying strategic priorities on our journey together. The open dialogue and exchange of ideas were invaluable in strengthening our partnership framework to create exceptional experiences for all involved. 

Powering more in 2025 

Looking ahead, we’re excited about innovations that will help align, amplify, and accelerate with our incredible partners in 2025. We have many planned initiatives to empower our partners to thrive in an increasingly competitive landscape.
