Iain Finlayson Email & Phone Number

Iain Finlayson is a Solutions Architect at bitdrift. He possess expertise in big data, content management, enterprise software, mobile applications, xml and 40 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "My Meetup Group "NJ Cloud Architects", hosted an event where Iain presented DataStax's offerings with a focus on Big Data in general, and a relatively deep dive into Apache Cassanda. The audience in attendance was particularly tough, with a mix of: highly technical members with a good understanding of Big Data and NoSQL to almost none, as well as complete non-techies. Iain's presentation was phenomenal. He managed to speak to everyone in the room, and was engaging, personable and creative. The format held everyone's undivided attention for well over an hour, and some of the NoSQL and Big Data naysayers in the room were full-on converts by the time it was complete. We were lucky to host such a dynamic presenter, and are very thankful towards Iain and DataStax for making it a terrific evening.", "Let's start with the important stuff: Iain is a man of deep integrity. It's unfortunate that we live in an age where this is a remarkable personal attribute but that is the case. If you hire Iain you can feel confident that all of his dealings internally within the company and externally with customers will be aboveboard, honest, and will be a credit to your organization. Iain is a true team player and I was a direct beneficiary of his largesse so I know that it is true. Iain had more experience than I did at MarkLogic and though I did not report to him and he had no responsibility to do so, he took an interest in my work and my development and always made himself available to help me. Whether the challenge I faced was architectural, database functionality, or business related, I always knew that I could reach out for help no matter what time and no matter how difficult or menial the task. Let me not leave out Iain's strong skills as an SE both in his ability to craft and deliver compelling presentations, code impactful demos, and build rapport with the client to help influence a sale. He understands the sales process and has real insights into sales strategy. Any company would be lucky to have Iain and I hope we have the opportunity to work together in the future.", and "A great Sales Engineer is like a secret weapon -- they can go into an organization and build relationships that could never otherwise be built by a sales person. Great Sales Engineers also care deeply about balancing his sales team's success and proposing solutions to customers that will work long term. By both measures, Iain is a great sales engineer. Iain and I were a team for 3 years and in that time he helped me put together some awesome customer solutions, from a sleek education mobile app, to a sophisticated research tool used by millions. I *never* had to worry about the technical sale when Iain was my SE."
