Summary

I am seeking consideration for the Product Support Sales Manager position. My goal as PSSM, through collaboration with our management team, would be to build a successful product support department. By empowering each dynamic product support individual with the tools, they will need to be successful. We will make each other better by challenging each other to become better each day. Within a positive, respectful, fast paced, relentless forward progress-based environment we will strive to provide excellent support for both our external and internal customers. I am a strong candidate because I am coachable, and sedulous.
