Experience Working As A Leader In Organizations:

- Managed and directed a technical sales team to support a $1.2B sales organization.
- Recruited to support company post merger environment by aligning two sales organizations with product, service comparisons, organizational structure, and quality assurance.

- Developed and published Bell Atlantic’s formal RFP (Request For Proposal) process, an interdepartmental guide for sales, engineering, and product management.
