Shlomi Harif’s Summary

I'm good at getting and sticking to the bottom line: if my company AND the customer aren't going to make or save money with a transaction, it's not a good use of anyone's time.

I work well with a broad range of folks: from CEOs to sales to business and technology staff levels. I enjoy leading and mentoring, and creating and executing on strategies.

I'm personally creative: a published poet, photographer, writer. I hold patents in computer networking and hardware.

Shlomi Harif’s Specialties:

Sales and account management, ergonomic space design.
