As a Market Development Manager for Ingram Micro, I was a solution advisor, consultant, licensing expert and idea challenger for our clients.Collaborated with solution providers to streamline their procurement, delivery and understanding of Microsoft software, cloud and hardware solutions.Included Office 365, Azure, Windows server, SQL Server and Microsoft Surface for mobile first, cloud ready solutions.

I worked with clients who needed to support business outcomes using an application platform for business applications. Clients need hybrid solutions that complement or extend existing environments. I worked with clients to explore how our solutions create impact, lower costs , generate revenue, or enable the innovating of business models.My engagements are with CFO's, Marketing Managers, IT Managers, CIOs, BI Managers, Application Managers, and Analysts.I start with understanding the business requirements, constraints and challenges of the status quo. Then orchestrate the resources required to advance solution adoption, ranging from solution advice, feature/benefit information, demos /briefings, proof of concepts, and arrange channel partners to deploy solutions or develop coherent strategies. In other words, make things happen. Business solutions encompass analytics, dashboards, business intelligence, reporting, data warehousing, disaster recovery and highly available application platforms. Toolsets range from Excel , through SQL Server, Power BI, and to Azure services. Increasingly, clients welcome the challenge to classic, slow, expensive approaches. They want to use cloud services to disrupt and drive speed to value for businesses.
