John Christiansen’s Summary

I have been a sales professional all of my life but inevitably that takes me into many other areas. I grew up programming and studied it for a while so technology is something I am extremely comfortable with. Customer service and customer focus are very important to me. My last 20 years have been spent in the legal vertical working primarily for software companies.
