Formerly a Googler, my first adventure as a Channel Account Manager partners with a well-known DMR helped expand my understanding in that area of business; very intrigued to see the complexities of the channel as a newcomer and the relative simplicities of an established veteran. Transitioning to AOPEN as an Account Executive provided a strong foundation and knowledge of the channel, helping build relationships with both the end-user and DMR sales teams. This provided a field of view as a Marketing Manager that made it easier to work cross-functionally with different business units, internally and externally. Current goal is to reach level 9000 (in life).
