Mark Walton’s Summary

Executive Recruiter in the Wireless Infrastructure and Mobile Content sectors with a lifetime of experience working in technology and technical sales. Executive recruiting gives me the opportunity to help people obtain their goals in their career and better their lifestyle. My firm has industry contacts accrued from 17+ years in the wireless industry.

I work directly with Hiring Managers who are CXOs, VPs, and Sr. Directors that use me to recruit the top 5% in Executive Decision Makers, Revenue Drivers, and IP Builders. I primarily work with startups and high-growth companies in:

• High-Level Sales, Business Development, and Product Marketing
• Prodiuct Management and Engineering Management

I recruit in North America and Europe in the following wireless vertical markets:
• wireless infrastructure - CDMA, GSM, WiMAX, WiBRO, mesh networks, RFID and NFC Technology
• wireless voice and data platforms - VoIP, PoC, IMS, enterprise data
• mobile devices – smart phones, mobile OS, security platforms, chipsets
• mobile content and mobile entertainment – search, MMS, advertising, IPTV, and mobile Internet

Potential Candidates:
If you are an exceptional talent with more than 7 years experience combined with a proven track record of accomplishments in the wireless industry, AND your peers consider you to be among the top 5% in the industry, perhaps we can talk.

Hiring Managers:
I work on retained and engagement level searches. When you need a revenue rainmaker or IP builder – I recruit only from direct competitors and indirect wireless and mobile vertical markets to bring you only the Top 5% in Talent.

Mark Walton’s Specialties:

I recruit expert sales revenue rainmakers, as well as product marketing and product management gurus. I don't send resumes to a client - instead I build a complete confidential profile using situational & hypothetical interviewing techniques to reveal tangible accomplishments in experience and skills; as well as the intangibles on problem-solving techniques, leadership, execution/project management style, cultural/product life-cycle fit. I only submit candidates that score in the Top 5%.

Success - "The Proof is in the Pudding" - that is what every recruiter at Abba Wireless hears from our Principal.

Mark Walton’s Interests:

I spend my spare time in the warm months on the Chesapeake Bay. We have a second home and a boat in Rock Hall, MD. At times you may find me recruiting from the middle of the Bay aboard the "Fresh Start". If you see me, wave me down. I'm always happy to meet my fellow industry colleagues. In the Winter months I read boating magazines and have been known to do some home improvements around the house. I've also been an Amateur Radio operator since I was 14 yrs old and still enjoy building and fooling around with radio equipment.
