Summary
I am a serial entrepreneur, having worked 25+ years in the high tech industry since the earliest start up days. Risk and reward comes with the territory -- companies I joined went public or were acquired or disappeared. I learned new things with every experience and leveraged lessons learned. You never stop learning, and life never stops teaching. I'm a Hunter, Global Connector, and Business Development Executive, and thrive on being first in to open up a channel, partnership or regions. I am an Alliances and Channel Sales Executive with 25+ years in building high performance sales channels and global partnerships to drive revenue growth towards IPO’s & acquisitions. My broad experience is across multiple industries, applications and several awesome companies including Netscape, Hewlett Packard, salesforce.com and PeopleSoft. I've excelled in my career having managed and trained 100's of partners (OEM, SI's, Resellers, VAR's, ISP's), and consistently produced 20-35% of worldwide revenues for many fast-growth companies. Ten years ago, I started a parallel path of business development and philanthropy in Laos. I co-chaired a foundation to help educate 100+ young men and women from orphanage centers in Luang Prabang, Laos and then started a philanthropic enterprise, www.halo2go.com to help deaf women and other young women earn income and to fund education scholarships. I want to leave a legacy of making a difference and impact on others' lives.
