I retired from the technology arena in 2018 and aligned myself with a company that imported foods, sauces, marinades, and spices from Portugal, Corsica, Mauritius, Greece, Sardinia, and France. Each of these products was ideal for the home kitchen and professional kitchen, delivering new and exciting flavor profiles. Then COVID struck.I am very proud to announce my alignment with Compagnia Gentile, an Italian company whose mission is to bring the traditional flavors of Italy to every home and every table.Their recipes deliver the true culture and flavors of local cuisine by preserving the taste of freshly picked fruits and vegetables using only natural ingredients. For 26 years I sold managed IT services delivered in multiple data centers around the United States, including Private and Public Cloud (Infrastructure as a Service), Disaster Recovery as a Service, Colocation, Managed Storage & Backups and Managed e-mail. I am a former Sales Director, with cross-functional experience that impacted revenue growth through sales, marketing, and improved implementation strategies within high-technology companies. I managed and trained multi-channel sales organizations responsible for selling the value of complete solutions to large enterprise customers in both public and private sectors, with a demonstrable ROI.My career included positions as a Director, Channel Manager, Government Education Markets Manager and Individual Contributor, with experience in both start-up and established companies.As a Senior Solutions Consultant in the managed data center services space, I delivered Business Continuity Solutions as a service (DRaaS), Managed Security solutions, Remote Storage and Public and Private Cloud services.For 20 years I was a respected SME and a Regional Sales Manager in the prepress graphics industry. I authored a monthly column for a trade journal, managed a Xerox channel and, as the North America Sales Director, I participated in the launch of Screaming Color and Screaming Technology, the developers of RIPLINK software, which landed me on the cover of "Printing Impressions" magazine.History of success in account and business development strategies. Effective interaction with decision-makers resulting in trusted-resource relationships, helping clients identify and overcome business obstacles; leading them instead of pushing them toward a buying decision. Extensive leadership experience of top-producing sales teams through a participatory leadership style inspiring high levels of performance. Excellent organization and communication skills.
