I've had the privilege of leading teams in procurement, the contact center, sales operations, and learning and development while working at CDW over the last two decades. This has challenged me to build a diverse skill set while learning to connect to leaders and coworkers across functions, levels, and backgrounds.I'm also an avid runner, completing 19 marathons with a personal best of 2:39. I am a five time pacer at Chicago Marathon. I connect lessons from running with lessons in business. 1) To get results, you have to commit yourself over long periods of time. You have to put in the work on days where it is hard to find motivation. A lot of the work you put in won’t be visible to everyone else. 2) You'll have some bad days. What matters is how you reflect on those days and what changes you make going forward. 3) There are no short cuts and quick fixes. Instead, there are a million things that come together, all of which matter.
Listed skills include Sales Operations, Management, Cross Functional Team Leadership, Sales Process, and 19 others.
