What I'm looking for

I seek a customer-focused inside sales or sales-support role where I can apply Avaya and UC expertise, support sales teams, manage quoting/order processes, and contribute to account success within a collaborative, growth-oriented company.

I am an inside sales professional with more than two decades supporting premier global sales teams in advanced communications technologies. I bring deep product knowledge of the Avaya portfolio and experience with Genesys, Cisco, cloud, and video solutions.

I excel at customer satisfaction and sales-team support, managing quoting, proposal creation, order management, margin analysis, forecasting, and opportunity tracking. I regularly collaborate with account executives, project managers, design engineers, technical support, and third-party vendors to drive successful project assembly and submittal.

Earlier in my career I led operations as an executive chef/manager and as the owner/operator of a catering business, where I handled scheduling, inventory, purchasing, marketing, sales, production and bookkeeping—reaching annual sales above $700,000. Those roles sharpened my operational decision-making, attention to detail, and client service skills.

I am self-motivated, detail-oriented, and quick to learn new systems and processes, with formal training and proficiencies that include Microsoft Office, Microsoft CRM, NetSuite, Navision, Avaya OneSource, and Cisco Commerce. I take pride in solving complex problems and supporting teams to exceed customer expectations.
