John Crossan Email & Phone Number

John Crossan is a Senior Vice President & General Manager, Europe at Freshworks. He possess expertise in saas, crm, cloud computing, solution selling, enterprise software and 7 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "In my career I've worked alongside many Sales leaders and the vast majority fit the same mould; Sales professionals who were promoted through their sales careers, picked up an MBA along the way and made the move into management; good sales people with Director / VP titles but little thought for the holistic wellbeing of the business. After meeting John and spending the last two years with him I can say that he is definitely NOT from this mould. Never have I met a sales leader who has such a passion and care for the performance and wellbeing of the entire organisation; not simply in terms of caring to maximise shareholder value, but truly caring for the people. John's background is not only selling at some of the highest levels but also as a qualified accountant, he understands everything from the intricate financial details of the deals and divisions he's overseeing but also how to construct deals and run deal processes to ensure that everyone wins, from the company we sold to, our own company and the individual sales reps themselves. As someone who ran a key partner function to the sales organisation, the respect and value that John had not only for my organisation but the support he showed for all supporting and partner teams was exceptional. John was the glue that kept the EMEA organisation moving. The collaborative and supportive culture that John fostered and demanded continues to this day within Zendesk. All of the employees across the GTM organisation in EMEA have John to thank for continually pulling the Leadership team together, refocussing us all on the important topics to ensure that we all achieved our common goals and had great fun doing it! If ever the opportunity came up to work alongside John again in the future, it would take a very special company or group of people to keep me and many of my peers from making the move to work alongside him." and "I had the absolute privilege of working with John for over 4 years at Zendesk. Under John's leadership the EMEA business grew over 400% in just under four years. His insight and leadership were instrumental in the success of the EMEA business. His motivating, inspiring and charismatic approach along with his accounting background enables him to see the big picture without losing touch of the details. John is also one of those rare people who has the presence to lead people. He genuinely cares about everyone around him. He keeps things fun while inspiring his team and driving them to success and he has the ability to keep his head while all about him are losing theirs. He also knows how to pick a great restaurant! He is a unique, one of a kind, brilliant sales leader that I hope to work with again in the future."

Listed skills include Saas, Crm, Cloud Computing, Solution Selling, and 8 others.
