I was Recruited by the Sr. Leadership team to take over Business Development efforts establish operations in new, highly profitable verticals, and to establish revenue and growth trajectory. Created solutions, recruited and negotiated global alliances, established operational infrastructure and controls, and built the executive teams. These efforts delivered the following;• Global Segment Penetration: The Sr. Leadership team wanted to establish a new vertical in the Telecom, Media, and Entertainment segment and gave me the responsibility to deliver the solution. Created and implemented customer-centric sales, marketing, and operations solutions tripling lines of business; Cloud, Big Data, and Video. Within a year, this produced ($$$M-confidential) with increased margins and established the 1st Global Vertical group for Dell in the segment. • Channel Sales Force Development: Dell had a direct sales force and wanted to diversify into 3rd party channels focused on the fortune 1000. Identified market parameters, presented business case and won approval from the CEO within 90 days. Within the 1st 2 months, built the team, infrastructure, and strategic plan reaching profitability within 6 months. This established the first “indirect” sales force in Dell history, a fundamental shift in culture and generated ($$$M-confidential) in new revenue the 1st year. • Revenue Optimization: The success of the new indirect sales force (above) developed the notion that it could be used as a template to create a channel group serving the Fortune 5000. Once this effort was completed it enabled a scalable, stable, predictable combined incremental revenue stream ($B-confidential) with a higher margin globalized product mix.
