As an experienced Sales Engineer with a track record of success in team lead roles on major accounts, Financial Service accounts, as well as State, Local, Higher Ed, and K-12, I am well-versed in cross-functional collaboration throughout the pre-/post-sales cycle, including progressive experience with the same company despite numerous mergers, spinoffs, and acquisitions.Currently, I work at IBM Corp, a leader in data backup and recovery, Cloud, Software Defined Storage, and AI. I call upon their largest customers in Financial Services in the Western and South-Western territory. Prior to that, I spent 10 years in similar roles for what started as BakBone Software and eventually became Quest and then Dell Software…and then Quest Software again.I have a deep knowledge of current and emerging technologies combined with superior presentation, closing, and follow-up skills to consistently meet and exceed sales goals.
