ABOUT AJAY PATEL

Professionally I’m an experienced Fin Ops professional with over 10 years of expertise in business planning, management, and sales, specializing in cloud-based solutions. As a Partner Development Manager, I have worked closely with C-Level executives, vendors, and partners, managing the relationship, and consulting on how to manage and increase the profitability of their Cloud Businesses. My previous roles include IaaS Business Development Executive, where I was the AWS subject matter expert and recruited new partners, and Account Manager for PCS, where I worked across a plethora of Vendors and customer types. My expertise in partner development and vendor relationships, combined with my strong Cloud knowledge, has helped me excel in this field.I\'m a lifelong lover of the arts. Growing up, I was always drawn to Film, TV, and Theatre, I spent countless hours watching old movies. As I got older, I discovered a passion for acting and literature, devouring books of all genres and doing my best at performing the works of the Bard. I pursued my passion for acting by studying Drama at University, quite quickly I replaced my tights with a pen and started to write plays which I still do for fun to do to this day. I\'m always on the lookout for new writers and fresh perspectives, and I believe that reading is one of the most powerful ways we can connect with others and explore different viewpoints. If you have a good book recommendation or would like one from me, please reach out! One of my new interests is Meditation, I’ve been practicing Mindfulness meditation for a few years and I’m a huge advocate of it to improve one’s quality of life and manage stress! Recently I’ve taken up transcendental meditation and I’m excited to reap the benefits of this practice, always keen to discuss if you’re interested!
