A strategic global channel, alliance, and vertical market leader and consultant with over twenty-five years in technology and fifteen years demonstrated experience advising, planning, and developing strategic supportive programs for channel, alliance, and vertical channel sales and marketing models.  I have had the great honor of being featured in CRN magazine, the Channel de facto standard; bringing 9 awards to Ruckus Wireless (acquired by Brocade) within a two-year window.My experience crosses technologies and verticals, specializing in developing repeatable and successful channel programs; taking existing programs and making the necessary modifications to produce more value to the vendor, reseller, and end user. I feel that one of the primary keys to my success is in understanding when and where to expand into new vertical markets and alliance channels.Most notably, was a member of the channel and alliance program leadership team for ThousandEyes, Ruckus Wireless, ShoreTel, and Intelisys. Organizations have and continue to rely on my sales, marketing, program, and project management experience to jettison their channel and alliances revenue stream.Specialties:Program Creation and Project ManagementVertical Expertise: SLED, E-Rate, Rural Healthcare Program, and FinancialStrategic Relationships: Alliance, Channel, and Distribution Corporate and Technical Training: Develop curriculum & execute trainingPublished Copywriter: Technical articles, blogs, whitepapers, datasheets, press releases, etc.Video Production: Storyboarding, directing, and editingEvent Management: From Lunch and Learns to large speaker forums to trade showsFun Facts:- Employee #1 at my first start-up- Deployed an online banking gateway for Banco Santander in Cali, Columbia- Deployed a project portfolio software for the Parliament in Canberra, Australia- Spent the beginning of my career as a Sales Engineer residing in 8 states- Certified to scuba and licensed to ride motorcycles
