About Linda Roude
With over two decades of experience across Microsoft and IBM, I’ve built a long-term career in IT by driving multimillion-dollar deals, cultivating trusted relationships, and leading high-performing teams across sales, marketing, and partner ecosystems.At IBM, I supported large enterprise clients through roles in project management, marketing, and solution sales.That foundation enabled me to thrive at Microsoft and be part of the Microsoft ecosystem for 20+ years—and counting—leading global sales, supplier and partner initiatives.In this ecosystem I have thrived understanding multiple angles on how to work with Microsoft, as FTE, partner, Reseller, Hardware Partners, GSI and lately working as part of the Top Suppliers Organizations.Besides my focus on selling to new logos at Beyondsoft, a Chinese based global firm, I became part of the Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) Microsoft family for nearly five years, and Indian base top consulting firm, where I embraced best practices from one of Microsoft’s top suppliers—supporting their business through professional services, BPO, and engineering excellence.I’m a results-driven leader who adapts quickly and delivers impact through collaboration, innovation, and strategic execution.
