About Michael Songbird

Kindness to others, personal integrity, generosity, respecting differences in people, and appreciation of nature and the outdoors have been cornerstones of my life from early childhood. My father was a significant influence, and my environment helped shape who I am today. I enjoyed reading poetry and history, star-gazing, and swimming. Many decades later, I am guided by strong family relations and great friends. I am fortunate to live a vibrant and dynamic lifestyle. My foundation for success is deeply rooted in my past and strengthened by my current experiences. People don\'t care how much you know until they realize how much you care. I am dedicated to my career and my customers, applying hard work ethic, creativity and energetic focus to standout and differentiate in a crowded IT and network infrastructure market- Every connection and interaction matters.Cycling, mountaineering, and gardening help me stay balanced and renewed, while weekly volunteering enriches my spirit.Core Competencies: Customer Relationship Management Team Building and Leadership Enable Business and Technology Solutions Business Development Account Management Global Account Support UCC, Hosted Services and XaaS, Cloud Telecom and Networking Info-sec and Network Security Enterprise Sales Customer Experience
