Experienced positive and enthusiastic business helper. I am an experienced leader in Sales, Product and Alliance Management. Over the last 20 yrs I've mainly held European or Global positions. I've worked for large corporations (eg IBM, Siemens, Johnson Controls and BaaN) and small, early stage specialist companies. I've been lucky to work with great colleagues. I continue to enjoy leading and being part of teams that get good things done. I've lived and worked in the States (twice) as well as the UK (my home).In June 2015 I stopped full time work with Siemens. I can say it ended up being one of the most satisfying roles I ever had and it came at the right time. In July 2015 I started Opinar, which is basically me, my focus is now exclusively on:* Helping deal teams win their must important sales pursuits* Helping Sales Leaders in planning, coaching and developing their teams* Helping Enterprise Account Teams build "really useful" account plans. Plans that are shared and endorsed by their key customers, that are centred on business improvement and that are regularly used and shaped as THE concise summary of what that business relationship is looking to deliver.Difficult things have to get done and they get done/tested in the marketplace with customers and partners and they have to get done sooner rather than later. The marketplace decides.Specialties: Experianced leader in Sales, Alliances and Product Management. Talent development (mentor). Assembler, inspirer and leader of teams.
