I lead the Americas Enterprise SE team covering our Gold sales cohort. My team works with our core Enterprise sellers and serves as the technical sales muscle for the greater account team. We also support our greater customer success organization as their main point of customer contact and as a key conduit between our customers and product teams. Since joining the organization, my team has and our primary sales counterparts have enjoyed great success meeting or exceeding our number every quarter since taking over the team. I have also been given the opportunity to work with several cross functional teams on projects ranging from on-boarding and practice building to new product development and global product strategy. The current focus of my non customer facing efforts revolve around our work management solutions, artificial intelligence, and SE operations and craft mastery. My time at Atlassian has furthered my belief that doing the work to build great teams, while challenging, pays massive dividends when the real work has to be done.

I led the Americas Commercial SE team, covering standard commercial accounts along with mid market SLED and Healthcare customers from Chile to Canada. In this role, I managed a team of 20+ solution engineers and managers who were dedicated to helping our customers achieve their business goals by addressing their technology challenges. Our team handled a wide range of solutions including hybrid cloud data centers, modern application deployment and development, virtualization, end-user computing, endpoint management, data visualization and analytics, and network virtualization and security. We had a proven track record of success in closing large deals and consistently exceeded our revenue targets. In addition to leading the Commercial SE team, I also helped to launch the first enterprise shared services team at VMWare. This team was specifically designed to scale SE service delivery across multiple enterprise segments and lines of business, filling critical gaps in our enterprise go-to-market strategy. The goal was, and continues to be, to provide a higher level of specialized technical knowledge to our relationship-focused enterprise SEs.

I help IT organizations to alleviate pain points in their data center by crafting a virtualization solution that fits their needs. My main responsibility is to technically validate a solution to ensure the technology fills the scope of the customer's project. Sometimes, the biggest hurdle in finding the solution is discovering the problem's root cause. A systems engineer must question and dig deeper to give the highest probability that the solution we recommend doesn't just alleviate the symptoms, but solves the actual problem.
