Simon Steele is a Client Director at F5 Networks. He possess expertise in new business development, team management, sales management, negotiation, cloud computing and 26 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Working with Simon was such a fantastic experience. He is a gifted salesman. He has an innate talent for communication and networking and it is always obvious when watching him interact with clients. Although I was working as a BDR, I was keen to learn more about selling. Simon really supported this and allowed me to shadow him in many of his client calls. This was an amazing mentorship opportunity for me, heightened by the fact he often asked my opinion afterwards and always treated me as an equal in meetings. On top of this, Simon is always smiling, and such a positive person to be around, there is never a dull moment with him. Simon is a brilliant colleague and mentor, who I am so grateful to for the opportunities which he has given me. Looking forward to keeping in touch and watching your success continue!" and "I have had the pleasure of dealing with Simon over the past few years on a number of key deals. He represents absolutely the calibre of individual needed to interface with both technical and non-technical players throughout the life-cycle of your large-scale, complex project(s); through the highs and (actually: probably more importantly) the lows. He knows his product, but when I've been testing his mettle, he has not been afraid to back off some of my more "bleeding edge", deep technical queries to those in appropriate roles who support him - which often saved both time and embarrassment. There is nothing worse in my role than being given a piece of information that upon research turns out to represent the antithesis of the facts! Further more, on a personal level, I have found him very easy to deal with - he has a deep-rooted interest in technology and the futures thereof (which really resonates with me) and is able to envisage the bigger picture holistically. It is very easy to become single-minded, blinkered and overly focussed on a single point in time or solution which can become detrimental. In contrast, I have often found that Simon is able to take a step back, breathe deeply and reset the focus of our discussions without being patronising or overbearing. His interest in technology is also bundled with an air of excitement that I find contagious. I have no reservations in recommending Simon on both a professional and personal level."

Listed skills include New Business Development, Team Management, Sales Management, Negotiation, and 27 others.
