*Seeking Employment Opportunities (would also consider sweat-equity opportunities)*

While I spent most of my career in information technology, my real passion and greatest strengths reside in sales and marketing. In the dedicated IT positions early in my career, I succeeded not simply because of my technical acumen, but also because I effectively sold my ideas to corporate leadership. After I earned my MBA and my career advanced, I pursued opportunities in broader positions which allowed me to directly build revenue, run sales teams and enhance daily operations. I am currently looking to leverage my experience, skills and passion by pursuing a position in sales with an exciting, growth-oriented company.
