About
My passion is building, leading and executing with world class sales teams. I believe our main responsibility as leaders is to inspire people to stretch themselves beyond what they thought they could accomplish on a consistent basis and, more importantly, stretch themselves because they want to not because they have to. As a result of this mindset, the teams I lead consistently overachieve. People interaction and a strong sales process are what fuel me and my satisfaction stems from seeing our customers, partners and the internal teams I serve succeed.
Digital transformation is accelerating at a blistering pace making the fight for budget more complex than ever before. To obtain budget, the customers I serve are striving to be relevant to internal business leaders. I love helping visionary IT stakeholders understand and define how to align their projects to top-level organizational goals, thus freeing capital. We can help you be a hero.
I welcome conversations around leading great teams and the customer journey.
