Ingrid Fields’s Summary

Working with and for some of the very best Sales and Operational Leaders in the Fortune 50 has been exceptional training. I am still working on client delivery and employee development every day because of the corporate and start up initiatives in my career.
Global customer delivery was exceptional fun and hard work. The SMB space was wonderful because you could see the impact immediately with the customer and our team.
Fortunately, I have also been accountable for market develoment, sales channels, direct sales teams in the National Enterprise markets through to SMB sales management and Public Sector offer and sales development for many major applications and all client sizes.
Virtualization and Secure Network management is animportant aspect of all IT departments moving forward and we are growing the offer every day as clients needs get more sophisticated.
Great Engineering with sustainable sales relationships is needed today to secure and deploy large scale, secure networks that deliver every time and that is why we are building TEMPEST NETWORKS!
