Hey, I am Annie:👩‍💻A tech enthusiast with a passion for driving impact and helping customers and organizations succeed through technology. I have honed my business and technical skills as a Sales engineer at Cisco for the past 5 years supporting NYC SLED (government and higher education) customers. In the past year, I had closed a $135M+ multi year, multi- architecture Service Enterprise Agreement helping NYC agencies decrease OPEX, scale business operations, and be rest assured they have a resilient network for today’s digital first world.🥷 My multifaceted skillset lies in designing infrastructure ranging from on premises to cloud— working with IaaS and SaaS spanning Datacenter, Security, Networking, Collaboration and Cloud. I like to tinker with coding and have created python automation scripts to drive productivity and sales for my customers and Cisco internal operations. Currently, I'm exploring the power of artificial intelligence and cloud compute in conversations with my customers. How I help: 🕵️‍♀️ Leverage me to develop the right business strategy to tackle your technology challenges while building strong relationships with your technical and executive stakeholders. 🏫 I am currently pursing my STEM MBA at Carnegie Mellon’s Tepper School of Business focusing on Business Technology and Strategy. My goal is to make smarter business outcomes in today's digital era. 🌍 Fluent in English and Vietnamese, conversational Spanish. Growing up in Queens, NY I’ve had the privilege of learning and interacting with various cultures. Along with a strong love for all foods, I embrace a cross-cultural collaboration with everyone I meet. 🤝 A great teacher and mentor of mine always told me to ‘Pay it forward’ — now my driving motto in life, I mentor and motivate individuals early in their careers to chase their dreams and unlock their potential.
