ABOUT BRADEN GARDNER

I\'m a technical sales professional at Dell Technologies, where I support enterprise and public sector clients in adopting innovative solutions—including enabling AI at the edge with client hardware like AI PCs and the Dell Pro Max with GB10 for real-time processing and reduced latency.A USC Marshall graduate (BS in Business Administration, emphasis in Entrepreneurship and Risk Management), I enjoy understanding customer needs, aligning technology with business goals, and helping deliver value through the full sales process.My interest in business started early—at 13, a school project building a cupcake store showed me the excitement of innovating, analyzing, and running operations end-to-end. That carried into college, where I worked at Trace Soccer (a VC-backed AI hardware/software startup), leading inventory and operations while analyzing financial models. Those experiences built my leadership, process optimization, and focus on product value—skills that translate well to technical sales.At Dell, I handle prospecting, deliver product demos and roadmaps, collaborate across teams, and present to C-suite and IT leaders to turn client challenges into practical solutions. I cover accounts across the public sector, financial services, and legal, always prioritizing strong relationships and long-term success.Growing up, I played football at the highest competitive level. It was some of the most fun times of my life, but it demanded a lot of time. I became very efficient with my time, learned to overcome adversity, and created lasting memories with great friends. It also taught me to love working out, and to continue staying active year-round—golfing, hitting the gym, and snowboarding in winter (after work is done, of course :))Open to connecting with people in tech, sales, AI/edge computing, or entrepreneurship.
