For the last 22 years I've worked in various capacities in the software field (e.g., business development, sales engineering, professional services, product marketing, application consulting, operations, recruiting), gaining a breadth of experience and knowledge across multiple functional teams. As a pre-sales engineer, I've effectively and successfully bridged the gaps between sales, product, and our customers.
