Assist organizations in improving sales strategy/processes and defining potential marketplace and messaging to this market. I have over 40 years experience in sales, sales management and marketing within the technology field. My experience covers infrastructure (Servers/Storage/Networking), Software (SaaS/Cloud/On-Premise) and Services (Analytics, Business Process/Improvement and Solution Implementation). Some of my past work experiences have been working with large technology organizations such as Unisys/Burroughs, Infor Global Solutions/NxTrend, Hitachi Consulting and Accenture. However my real enjoyment in the workplace has come with my experience with the Small/Medium business marketplace. I was with a small software application company ($40M) for 16 years and moved to the DFW area to manage sales and marketing of a company we purchased. I was also part of a startup firm to help develop and start a small business consulting firm for the SMB market in Dallas/Ft Worth.
