Stephen Vickers Email & Phone Number

Stephen Vickers is a Senior Director, Global Sales Development at OutSystems. Colleagues describe them as "Stephen Vickers exemplifies the true compassionate leadership profile, and knows how to motivate his teams. In my first role post-grad, I was in a fast-paced and competitive sales environment and I was astounded by his ability to balance encouraging people to challenge themselves and maximize their potential, while also living by the motto "it's okay to fail." If there's one thing I learned in sales it's that fearlessness can be integral to success, and if you operate under leadership that makes you feel comfortable making mistakes, you're more likely to try new things and put yourself out there. Although Stephen had about 100 indirect reports at my level in addition to his direct reports, he remembered my interest in Talent Acquisition and reached out months after I had mentioned it. I'm grateful for his referral into my current position, as I've gotten the opportunity to strengthen and highlight my natural skillsets, as well as continuously grow in a challenging environment with a brilliant team. As someone who has worked with Stephen across my first two post-grad roles, I wanted to offer my perspective on why he's been a standout career mentor for me, and a strong leader." and "Stephen Vickers is the type of leader every rep wants to work for. While I didn’t have the fortune of working directly on his team, I had a front row seat to the impact he had. What amazed me most was the philosophy he implemented in working with his team. Every sales manager cares about your number, but Stephen went 5 layers deeper. He took the time to learn their strengths and weaknesses, went the extra mile to understand their internal motivators, and directly molded his management style to fit each individual. The results spoke for themselves and I’m not sure there was a more motivated team within Acquia. He had his team ready to run through walls and the tenacity in which they operated served as an example for even the most senior sellers. There aren’t many people who can turn BDRs with 9 months of experience into top performers, but Stephen made a habit of. Wherever his career takes him, I’m certain there will always be a line of top performers eagerly waiting for the chance to work with him again."
