About Bill H.

I help people, teams, and companies succeed. Tap into my 35 years of experience over 2 careers, one in business and one in technology, to gain insight, guidance, and direction when it comes to business and/or technology. I\'ve been fortunate to have touched and done a lot in my work life. I love helping others by way of using and sharing all I\'ve learned. Reach out to me and let\'s talk. Guaranteed we\'ll have some fun while working on the big rock challenges together.Some of my proudest contributions have netted yields in the $10\'s of millions (worked with a key ERP alliance partner-turned-competitor to define and drive 9 month solution road-show that netted $110M in new revenue after 12 months) through hundreds of millions of dollars in net-new revenue (turned around a Sales Engineering team with a target of $170M in jeopardy to over achieve at $240M).

Experience

1. Career 2 - (Second Half) High Tech

   Multiple Companies

   May 2008 — Present · Raleigh, NC, US

   CV available upon request - just connect with me and request it.My High Tech career began when I shifted from purchasing NetApp storage systems to selling them leveraging my DBA knowledge and experience to help companies get the most out of their NetApp purchase when using Oracle, SQL Server, or DB2. I took some time between Progress Energy and NetApp as I didn\'t feel right interviewing with a company from which I was purchasing their product. This leg of my career starts in hardware, but it always had a focus on Enterprise business solutions that leverage hardware rather than the hardware itself being the focus. Currently, I\'m back into the software side of the business focusing on Artificial Intelligence while leveraging my deep and broad hardware and infrastructure knowledge acquired at NetApp then Nimble Storage / HPE.Below are the places I worked, the roles I held, and how long I worked at each place - in reverse chronological order.Dataloop - November 2022 - May 2023- Chief Customer OfficerEXL Service - November 2020 - September 2022- VP Cloud Engineering and Solutions- EXL Digital CTOCloudFactory - February 2019 - November 2020- Head of Global Client Technology Solutions- Global Principal Solutions ArchitectPendo - July 2018 - February 2019- Global Enterprise Technical Account Manager - Enteprise Data Solutions EngineerNimble Storage / Hewlett Packard Enterprise - October 2015 - July 2018- Senior Director of Solutions and Technical Marketing EngineeringNetApp - May 2008 - October 2015- Director, Pre-sales System Engineering NetApp – IBM Global Alliance- Director, Datacenter Solutions Group Enablement- Director, Enterprise Ecosystem Engineering Organization- Senior Manager, Enterprise Ecosystem Engineering Organization- Database, Enterprise Application and Cloud Global Field Technology Lead- Technical Executive Sponsor - The CERN, National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Lab, BNP Paribas, and Socitie Generale
