For five years I was supporting Sales Teams in meetings with partners and/or customers as a presales consultant, to propose solutions (including equipment and services), for SLED, SMB or selected named accounts in Florida State. Also, after any design proposition, I had to cover the differentiation points, so the customer could compare this with other options in the market.Most of the meetings were in English, but we had some in Spanish and a couple in Portuguese.During this time, I was the presenter for several events, when I talked about technology and products for partners and/or customers. Also, I was one of the selected speakers at the HP Discover event in 2012.The international transfer to the US was in 2012 to be the Subject Matter Expert on Network Management technologies and Best Practices and I was asked to help the field teams in the Southeast. So, besides my geographical region (Florida), I also offered strategic technology support on key accounts in the Southeast region, as part of the Enterprise Account Management Plan.
