"The two most important days of our lives are the day we're born, and the day we find out why."I am an innovative and experienced Marketing and IT Professional with over 18 years of combined professional work experience, including the roles of Sr. Partner Marketing Manager at AWS, Partner Marketing Manager at Cisco, Sr. IT Program Manager at Delaware North, a recognized worldwide leader in the hospitality industry, and Sr. Marketing Account Manager at the world's largest technology distributor, Ingram Micro. My current position at AWS allows me to utilize my extensive background in marketing to empower Distributors and large IT Resellers to achieve Public Sector related revenue growth through joint marketing activities, MDF, and customer acquisition and enablement activities. At Cisco, my responsibilities included aligning with Cisco and distribution business leadership in setting the strategic marketing direction and utilizing new and innovative tools and tactics to support growth objectives and business goals. At Delaware North I developed, organized, and ensured the success of various IT projects and programs for our locations around the world. Prior to my more recent roles, I had the pleasure of working for Ingram Micro where my entire tenure was dedicated to managing the marketing efforts and go-to-market strategy for their largest technology partner, Cisco.There are two primary professional beliefs that I hold:1) Build relationships, build your network. I'm a firm believer that no matter your industry or role within a company, that building, growing, and maintaining relationships is a key component to individual and organizational success. 2) Define success - early and often. Project/program/tactical success will always elude you if trackable and measurable goals are not clearly defined and agreed upon up front by all relevant parties and stakeholders. No need to waste time, effort, and resources for an activity where success or failure will be undeterminable!
