Tech Data is one of the world’s largest technology distributors with 100K+ clients in 100+ countries. I joined Tech Data upon their $2.6B acquisition of Avnet in 2017. Avnet acquired my original employer Canvas Systems in 2012. • Sold enterprise level IBM iSeries/pSeries servers, server components, and storage to end users and through the VAR channel in the United States and Canada. • Sold complementary services including third-party hardware maintenance, data erasure, short-term hardware rentals, leasing, and hosting services. • Managed a small interdepartmental team to respond to each client’s unique business needs and offer creative, effective solutions. • Marketed products through promotional emails, webinars, website content, and traditional methods such as conference networking, personal visits, and phone calls. • Consistently hit quota and finished in top 20% for all sales representatives nationwide on an annual basis. • Reached average annual hardware sales and services revenues (2014 - 2017) of $2.5M and average margin of $880K, with services revenues growing from 20% of total in 2014 to 40% of total in 2017.

At the Banner-Herald I recruited, trained, supervised, and motivated a team of eight sales representatives to meet their quotas. In this role I earned Leading Sales Producer for 2002 and 2003 among eight representatives, and I was promoted to Outside Sales Manager in March 2003 where I increased sales 23% in management role.
