• Background selling physical security, SaaS, or IT/network infrastructure solutions highly desirable.

• Demonstrated ability to work effectively with and through channel partners.

• Deep understanding and practical application of MEDDPICC or similar enterprise sales methodologies.

• Exceptional communication, executive presence, and strategic thinking skills.
