What I loved most about this role was utilizing my decade-plus of HR experience to plan and implement strategies that directly impacted our bottom-line.I had the opportunity to support all facets of sales, including Enterprise, Commercial, SLED, SMB, Channel, Pre-Sales Engineering, and Renewals for the Americas Region (LATAM, US, CAD).My favorite part of the role was the coaching and counseling to both senior leaders and first time managers.
