Symantec Business Manager
Westcon Africa
This job role moved me a little away from my traditional technical background to business management. However, I still spend a lot of time assisting partners across sub-sahara Africa including Mauritius on technical/pre-sales related issues. This helps a lot in opportunity development, up-sell/cross-sell and ensuring that the right solution/spec is given to the end-user.As a business manager, it is my responsibility to grow Symantec business in the regions (sub-sahara Africa and IOI). This includes developing business plan which covers products marketing, events and resellers development. This role actually earned me an award from Symantec - I was just working not knowing that some people were actually watching.AwardSymantec Disti Person of the Year 2009 (Africa)
