Strong leadership and people management skills along with experience building highly effective service organizations through channel partners are a necessity for this role – you’ll be jumping in with both feet right from the start. You have a thorough understanding of the metrics that drive a professional services organization – with the track record of 100% customer satisfaction and above average profit margins to prove it.
