An accomplished and result-driven Senior IT Sales Account Executive driving sales, expanding the customer base, customer success, and generating new revenue. I have expertise in engaging with prospects to understand their pain points and produce compelling business solutions to meet their needs. I've worked in a variety of roles and verticals. I can easily adapt and ramp very fast with little hand holding. I understand what it takes to be successful internally on a sales team and how to gain and maintain a customer base.

Took time away from full time work to focus on healthcare challenges. I also kept up with technologies and am currently working on my Azure certification.

Achieved 101% of FY 2019 Plan. Tracking towards Q2 FY20 plan. Business Development Manager focused on Azure NetApp Files. Worked with new and existing Microsoft and NetApp customers to help them harness the power of the the cloud. Firms of all sizes are migrating their critical applications to Microsoft Azure Cloud to drive agility, flexibility and CapEx improvements. Organizations faced a big challenge of having to refactor/rewrite Linux applications using file-based protocols like NFS to move to the cloud—a costly and time-consuming effort. Zeroing out your application and starting from scratch is not realistic. Example workloads include: SAP database environments, web infrastructure, engineering, tech apps, collaborative & content apps, etc. Microsoft and NetApp entered into a long-term engineering partnership to deliver Azure NetApp Files - a “first party” high performance Azure NAS storage service (turnkey in the Portal, like Azure VMs and Blobs). Fleets of NetApp all flash clusters live in the heart of Azure data centers integrated directly into the Azure network. You can now lift and shift trapped file-based workloads into ANF and avoid rewriting your application. ANF helps you accelerate cloud adoption without making tradeoffs to performance, reliability, and scale. Put ANF into the hands of the developer. Build and scale new apps in Azure using native NFS or SMB volumes mounted directly on the application servers as persistent storage for container services. Avoid the set-up time and excessive costs of striping workloads across VM-based IaaS file servers. All the familiar NetApp performance and data management capabilities like snapshots and cloning.Consume ANF through your Azure EA/Commit or Pay-go with hourly prorated billing - no separate licensing. Deploy petabytes of ANF storage in under 5-min.
