Executive Manager with well over 20 years of experience in running Global Teams, along with 10 years of International Operations and Business Development experience.
My passion is formulating and executing on models that grow the individuals on the teams I lead while growing company revenue. This has always allowed me to enjoy my job while delivering results. My concept of transitioning Technical Sales centric teams to Business Technologists was formulated while I was at CA and the model was put into action there and at succeeding companies with tremendous success. Given the challenge to take this model and move it throughout my Global region was an amazing opportunity and one that completely enriched me on Global Cultures and International Business practices. This led to numerous opportunities and responsibilities in the areas of Offshore Solution Centers, International Market penetration, Internationalization projects, Business Development and of course Executive Sponsorship in accounts around the world.Highlights:• 5 years in Software Development and Management of Software Development Teams.• 20+ years experience in Global Pre-sales Leadership.• Extensive experience in International Operations and Technical Sales Leadership, with specific focus on Asia-Pacific Operations during 2002-2008.• Responsible for running the Japan Operation in 2004-2005, reducing costs and raising revenue targets• Member of various Senior Management Teams and Global Leadership Teams over the years.• Initiated a Senior Global Pre-Sales Manager Council assembled from various companies.• Built a highly efficient Sales Engineer model that consistently ran with a 5+ year tenure, and an efficient ratio of Sales Reps to SEs.A Guest speaker at the University of Delaware Business School on International Business Topics.Serving on the Advisory board of a Startup firm in the SaaS space.
