As a Senior Solution Architect I work with the Sales teams and Partners to create leading edge solutions for our customers. The sales focused environment at Oracle and Adobe has been a great place to hone my commercial skills and taught me a tremendous amount about how to sell the enterprise solutions I delivered at Autonomy
I completed my tenure at Autonomy as the Professional Services Director in charge of BPM and Enterprise Content and Capture for EMEA. Autonomy taught me the value of focus and that there is no substitute for deep technical understanding to achieving success
