A few of my key principles: character is doing the right thing when nobody is looking, the customer always comes first, and I am passionate about building long standing partnerships.I have had a wonderful opportunity to build businesses, develop strategic partnerships, go-to-market strategies, and lead sales teams to drive growth. My 30 years of experience in sales, with a focus on the technology industry, bring unparalleled value when it comes to building collaborative partnerships, listening to customer needs and developing solutions to help customers drive true business outcomes.My core is focused on growing sales through partners/alliances, and was named a Top Channel Sales Leader by CRN magazine. I passionately believe that when you work together in a true partnership -- all focused on exceeding customer expectations -- you can drive an extraordinary experience for your customers. My career has often required extensive business travel, so I’ve been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to visit more than 60 countries. What I've learned from these experiences is that no matter what area of the world you’re in, the business opportunities - and what people are trying to accomplish - are very similar.Evolving my leadership style is continual. Lead with humility. Collaboration brings people together to accelerate the speed of business. As an executive and general manager, I've had the opportunity to build strategy, run a P&L, and execute sales plans for industry leading companies.As a cancer survivor, I am committed to "pay it forward" and help others that face this terrible disease.Oh and by the way... please don't call me "Christopher"... that is reserved for my mother when I was in big big trouble... Chris or CJ works well...
