Profile bio
About Jim Acker
Passionate sales leader, player, and coach with a track record of attracting, hiring, and retaining top talent that has produced exceptionally consistent results. Leveraging a data-driven approach, I build and foster performance-based sales cultures that have resulted in overachieving annual team goals over twenty times during my career. As a result of my career experiences, I have developed a broad portfolio of knowledge in technologies (networking, virtualization, ML/AI, cloud, storage, IoT, and security) that span across both the private and public sectors. I consider my strengths to include Strategic Selling, Sales Management, Public Speaking, and Sales Development. I joined Cisco when it was < $500M sales company and left when it was $10B. I joined Network Appliance (NetApp) when it was a<$500M sales company and left when it was $4B. I joined Nimble Storage when it was <$100M sales company and three years later we were acquired as a $400M sales company. Results matter and I can proudly look back on my career knowing I have been a part of some amazing growth companies and their success. As a team-first leader, I have been fortunate to coach and mentor many sales people and system engineers that have worked incredibly hard to ensure their clients experienced successful outcomes. I am proud that my coaching tree has produced numerous VP's of Sales as well as a few VP's for Sales Engineering. Seeing others achieve their dreams is what gets me up in the morning. To that end, I was on the ground floor of building out the Cisco Networking Academy program in1996 that now annually trains over 100,000+ students on networking skills worldwide. My own son participated in the Cisco program and now works in IT at PwC.
Listed skills include Storage, Solution Selling, Managed Services, Data Center, and 45 others.
