To fully achieve this combination of business and technical acumen, I have managed my career towards learning multiple technical architectures, engaging in variety of business concerns, and exposing myself to different “cultural” experiences.Starting my career inside channel partners, I built a diverse knowledge base. Learning pre-sales, implementation and project management skills, across a breath of technology solutions, created the foundation of my career. This strong technical knowledge was quickly augmented with business skills. My positions then evolved into consulting and leadership roles, where I managed and developed teams and owned associated profit centers.As the pace of technology continued to accelerate, and my career matured, the opportunity presented itself to transition into the world of networking vendors. Through a breadth of individual contributor and leadership roles, I continued to refine my skills and expand my experience.

I even had the opportunity to be involved with several company acquisitions, where target organizations were onboarded, aligned and blended into Cisco.Today, as a seasoned leader, I have enjoyed multiple national and global positions, with increasing scope and responsibilities, with expertise across:• Program incubation & management• Strategic alliance management• Systems Engineering leadership & development• Change / risk management• Stakeholders management• Team building & development• Go-to-market strategy & execution• Resource orchestration• Enterprise Networking, Security, Collaboration and Service Provider architectures• Customer Experience / Customer Success frameworks• Business DevelopmentAs illustrated, my career has provided me a wealth of opportunities and let me become aware of what I enjoy.
