After 25 years in the computer industry in Sales, Marketing, and Technical Support, for Manufacturers like HP, VARs like Onward, Resellers like Computer Lynx, Retailers like Adventure Electronics, and Distributors like Ingram, Beamscope, EMJ, and Synnex, I have accrued a vast industry knowledge from all levels of the channel.

Ian Mackenzie’s Experience

• Prospect

  Seeking Employment

  (Computer Hardware industry)

  July 2009 — Present (6 months)

  I am presently seeking employment in IT Sales and Marketing. My assets like problem solving skills, fixing issues, making things work better, and focusing on solution selling the correct products to meet customer needs, were not directions, nor resources that my past employer desired. It is my attitude that business relationships where you look out for your customer are preferable. This is what I seek now.

• Inside Sales Rep

  EMJ division of Synnex Corp.

  (Public Company; SNX; Computer Hardware industry)

  November 2004 — July 2009 (4 years 9 months)

  I was involved in solution sales by helping resellers make informed decisions for their customers and helping them acquire the specifically configured hardware quickly at the lowest possible price. We offer Credit Terms to those companies with references. We have extremely low freight rates. We have technical support personnel and demo pools to help with testing.
  
  EMJ is the "Niche" division of Synnex (a worldwide Computer Hardware distributor). EMJ specializes in POS, Auto-ID, RFID, barcoding, security, surveillance, card technology, professional video, networking, and many more markets that offer the potential for more profitability for resellers. As a division of Synnex, we are able to provide a one-stop shop with access to all of the "Broadline" inventory.

• Sales

  Computer Lynx

  (Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Computer & Network Security industry)

  A service and networking company, now specializing in remote support, maintenance, monitoring, and backup for businesses mostly in the Cambridge, Kitchener, and Guelph area, but not restricted by region, only by Internet.
