<p>In this episode of IAMCP Profiles in Partnership, hosts Anthony Carrano and Rudy Rodriguez sit down with Denny Ghim of Sandler Partners and Promod Antony, CEO of Logic Intelligence, for a compelling conversation about how trust-driven relationships, community involvement, and a shared mission can spark transformative business outcomes.</p><p>What starts as a story about two professionals connecting through IAMCP quickly unfolds into a larger narrative—one of purpose, opportunity, and the power of partnership. Together, Denny and Promod share the behind-the-scenes journey of how a simple introduction turned into a major data transformation project for the Oregon Food Bank, and how their partnership continues to evolve with even greater ambitions on the horizon.</p><p>Throughout this episode, Anthony, Rudy, Denny, and Promod explore:</p><ul><li><strong>Showing Up with Value: The Art of the Warm Introduction<br></strong> Denny reflects on his unique approach to networking—bringing value first. Whether it’s offering an opportunity, sharing a contact, or just showing up with a metaphorical (or literal) casserole, his goal is to establish trust from the start. That mindset proved pivotal in his collaboration with Promod, laying the groundwork for a partnership built on respect and mutual support.</li><li><strong>Solving for Good: Empowering Nonprofits Through Tech<br></strong> Promod and his team at Logic Intelligence helped the Oregon Food Bank move from a patchwork of siloed, on-prem systems to a unified cloud-based analytics platform. Using Azure, Power BI, and other tools, they created a streamlined, on-demand data environment that helps the nonprofit manage donor insights, food distribution, and compliance reporting with ease—ultimately allowing them to better serve their community.</li><li><strong>The IAMCP Advantage<br></strong> The conversation also explores how the IAMCP network catalyzed their collaboration. Denny and Promod emphasize the value of in-person connection, especially in a post-pandemic, screen-saturated world. It was through face-to-face IAMCP events that trust was built—and it’s that trust that turned introductions into opportunities.</li><li><strong>From Projects to Purpose<br></strong> This episode goes beyond the tech. Promod opens up about Logic Intelligence’s origins and how, despite having no sales team, the company has grown through thoughtful partnerships and reputation. Denny, too, shares his vision of helping partners like Promod scale to new heights—potentially bringing them into Sandler’s nationwide provider portfolio. For both, it’s about creating win-win scenarios that ripple beyond individual deals.</li><li><strong>Advice for the Next Generation of Partners<br></strong> Their closing message is simple but powerful: show up, build real relationships, and don’t be afraid to lead with generosity. If you’re looking to grow your business through the IAMCP, it starts with being present—and being helpful.<p></p></li></ul><p>This episode is more than a story about successful business collaboration—it's a masterclass in how trust, community, and purpose-driven partnerships can lead to real impact. Whether you're a Microsoft partner, a nonprofit leader, or simply someone who values authentic connection in business, Denny and Promod's journey will inspire you to rethink how you network, how you show up, and how much more we can accomplish when we work together.</p><p><br><strong>Listener Links / Resources<br></strong><br></p><p>Guests:<br>Promod Antony, CEO at Logic Intelligence<br>LinkedIn Profiles:<br>- <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/promodantony/">Promod Antony | LinkedIn</a></p><p>- <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/logicintelligence/">Logic Intelligence | LinkedIn</a></p><p>URL: <a href="https://logicintelligence.com/">Logic Intelligence</a><br>Curry.TV</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@CurryTV">Curry TV - YouTube</a></p><p>Denny Ghim, Director of Channel Sales at Sandler Partners<br>LinkedIn Profiles:<br>- <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/denny-ghim-0473a013/">Denny Ghim | LinkedIn</a></p><p>- <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/sandler-partners/">Sandler Partners | LinkedIn</a></p><p>URL: <a href="http://www.sandlerpartners.com/">Sandler Partners</a></p><p>Show Hosts:<br>Anthony Carrano <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonycarrano/">LinkedIn</a>, Managing Partner at <a href="https://www.dunamismarketing.com/">Dunamis Marketing</a></p><p>Rudy Rodriguez <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/eljefe1austin/">LinkedIn</a>, Managing Partner at <a href="https://www.dunamismarketing.com/">Dunamis Marketing</a></p><p><a href="http://www.profilesinpartnership.com">Profiles in Partnership</a>, brought to you by <a href="https://www.dunamismarketing.com/">Dunamis Marketing</a></p><p>International Association of Microsoft Channel Partners: <a href="https://www.iamcp.org">IAMCP Website</a></p>
