About Mark Contreras

I am a passionate technical sales professional with years of experience supporting Dell Enterprise customers with all parts of their data center infrastructure. As a field systems engineer and technical sales rep during my time at Dell, I configured and sold servers, software, storage, hpcc and networking solutions to my customers that solved their business need. I have managed teams of inside and outside technical sellers while driving go to market strategies that supported North America Enterprise customers. My teams accomplished this by quoting, positioning and selling Dell Data Center offerings, system upgrades, and third-party solutions from select partners for critical data center components, not part of Dell technologies branded offerings.During my time at Dell, I have acquired a strong sales and technical background in all aspects of today’s enterprise market. As an Account Executive, I listened to my customer\'s need and positioned complex technical solutions that met their business objectives while building strong partner relationships thru the sales cycle. I am dedicated to driving team success as a technical sales manager by building efficient processes, tracking, analyzing and reporting key metrics, while delivering a clear vision and strategy. I am a detailed-oriented planner that can effectively lead a team spread across multiple regions. I foster a team environment that values collaboration with open communication and promotes long-term professional development of their careers.Outside of work, I am a passionate University of Texas Longhorn that bleeds burnt orange and attends many UT athletic events. For many years, I participated in the Round Rock adult softball league but now coach many of my kids youth sports leagues. I can still be found playing a round of golf, taking up pickleball or snapping pictures of my kids around town.
