Tech Spend Solutions provides technology consulting and spend alternatives to mid/enterprise sized companies specifically focusing on their Unified Communications' spend and expanding from there. This includes analyzing hardware/software maintenance costs (legacy/non-manufacturer supported phone systems), carrier service contracts, vendor management process and aligning spend with a going forward technology plan. By working together, we can provide a view of options that can be very cost beneficial to companies and different than they are most likely being discussed directly with manufacturers or Business Partners. In addition, through a network of experts, this analysis can even move into energy costs, mobility plan options and HR tax credits for employee hires. Those business that are evaluating taking business applications into the Cloud or as a services (aaS) can also benefit engaging Tech Spend Solutions through looking at the entire technology impact from moving to the Cloud and accelerating vendor management to free up internal staff bandwidth.

Led AGC US Sales' organization which consisted of 20+ sellers over 6 regional markets in an effort to grow the 40M US business. SVP of Sales was a new position within AGC US and included establishing a sales strategy that aligned with services, marketing and operational capabilities within AGC and its' partners. In addition, we created a sales structure that promoted individual engagement while strengthen key alliances with our Business Partners nationally and regionally. Substantial effort was put forth transitioning AGC from a traditional, telephony company in the US to a service-oriented, customer excellence driven organization capable of moving into the new world of Unified Communications. This included launching cloud-based technology, managed services and extended support contracts while continuing to expand AGC's breadth into existing and new accounts. We were able to build a profitable business in 2014-2015 and on the way to another profitable year in 2015-2016 despite continuous leadership changes and globalization constraints.

Returned to a leadership role in Services and Operations with AGC Networks (acquired the assets of Transcend United Technologies in March/April 2013). In brief summary, my role was to lead a proven and very talented group through meshing existing AGC resources with TUT's creating a unified brand, offloading non-Sales activity from the Sales' team to enable them to achieve our revenue targets and integrate a widely successful International technology service leader with a growing US-based, multi-manufacturer UC product and services provider. The vision was bringing a unique and experienced Global fulfillment technology provider to the market allowing end user customers and channel partners an alternative to direct manufacturer fulfillment.
