Tell us briefly about your professional background and your career prior to joining AireSpring.
I have been fortunate to have been in the telecom and IT industries for over 25 years and have enjoyed learning about technology, helping to solve customers' challenges, and working with so many talented people.
I began my career selling long distance services and became an operations director, ultimately managing a team of technicians and the cost management team. I also ran a small ISP, TeamLogic IT, which was later sold to ViaWest. I spent time at Integra Telecom as the VP of Operations, VP of Sales, and Senior VP/GM, as well as 3 years as Area Vice President for the Northwest Region for CenturyLink, leading both direct and indirect sales initiatives. After my stint there, I returned to Utah to take on the role of VP of Business Development for 1Wire, leading sales teams in delivering innovative solutions to meet the evolving needs of B2B clients. Before I joined AireSpring, I served as Director of Channel Sales West at CCI Network Services, where I created strategies to drive business and foster partnerships.
Tell us a bit about your role at AireSpring and how you support our partners.
As a Vice President of Channel Sales, I have the opportunity to build a team of outstanding channel managers and work with them to recruit and support partners across the western United States. Sharing AireSpring's dynamic product portfolio and our commitment to providing world-class customer service with our partners is a big part of what I do and very satisfying, especially because AireSpring also provides a range of tools such as QuoteSpring and AIreCONTROL in addition to a team of experts who provide ongoing support. Paving the way for partners and their customers to accomplish their goals is at the core of my role here at AireSpring, and I find it very gratifying to contribute to a company like AireSpring that is successful at doing so.
What do you like about working at AireSpring?
Working alongside talented and dedicated coworkers is always a pleasure. Driving towards being the best company at what we do is incredibly enjoyable and bolsters my competitive drive. I feel privileged to be on such a great team, especially because we prioritize support for our partners and their customers no matter where they are in their contract with us. Our commitment to delighting customers every day truly sets us apart in the industry, and I’m proud to be a part of that.
Tell us about your hobbies/activities outside of work.
Having grown up playing every sport with a ball provided many great experiences and relationships and still does. My participation these days is primarily on the golf course, many times using golf as an excuse to travel. I’m not quite sure anymore which one is more enjoyable. I also very much enjoy spending time with my children and grandchildren.
