Executive Vice President responsible for top line growth through direct sales, marketing and partner alliances.Left successful position at Concur to take 40% ownership stake in Concur's main professional services partner. My mission was to expand company vertically and horizontally. Concur represented 90% of BEW revenue, which necessitated diversification. A single service (Audit) represented 90% of Concur related revenue, which necessitated diversification within the Concur alliance. In five short months I sold the largest DIRECT deal to a T&E customer for implementation services in BEW's 10 year history (6 figures to Avaya), introduced 3 new OEM services to Concur that I personally invented (Reporting, Sys Admin and End User Support) - thereby diversifying the revenue stream, and sold a new OEM partnership for 6 new services to a new T&E partner. BEW's primary source of revenue offered to extend BEW's contract for 3 additional years if we stopped expanding our offerings, stopped selling direct, and stopped working with additional partners. Against my advice, the majority shareholder agreed, and I left to start TurnKey to support the Avaya implementation and the new OEM partnership I had sold. Barely half way into the extension the audit service was moved to the Philippines and BEW was out of business.
