Hello,
Throughout my entire career, I have always been entrenched with great new technologies, enjoying the challenge to champion adoption. This position would benefit by applying my broad experiences from Fortune 100 as well as Startup companies. I always strive to create the highest customer value, merging creativity along with my understanding of business needs, technology benefits, enablement and aptitude. I expect to hit the ground running, coming up to speed and contributing immediately.
Including the past 10 years at CSC, SAP & Oracle, I have over 25 years of experience in the technology & services, manufacturing, high tech, consumer electronics, and distribution industries. This includes 20 years management of complex solution marketing and sales utilizing direct and indirect channels; business development; project & process management, business process mapping, enablement & implementation; and technical support, consulting services and training experience; all in addition to a technical design and development background. Enterprise B2E, B2B and B2C platforms/technology, applications, and M2M (machine to machine) / IoT (internet of things) have most recently been my focus, implemented as on-premise, or with SaaS/Cloud or PaaS models.
My high energy, aptitude, enthusiasm and experience from marketing industry-specific processes, business development, technology enablement, product management, strategic demand generation inception, and engagement and execution seem perfect for this position. I have success and experience with campaigns, partner management, events, new products and solution-set “play” definition, go-to-market with direct and partner/ alliance engagement & management to drive and shape growth. I have conducted deep business / market analysis studies to identify new target demand generation and new revenue growth efforts; worked on a broad range of targeted solution collateral; analyst relations; customer strategy boards, and success/references generation.
I am a self-motivated, team player and leader who prefers strategizing and close attention to short, mid and long term goals in an organization rather than a “take it as it comes” tactical approach. From my resume, you’ll see that I have worn many different hats. The vein of my cumulative positions has been a customer centric approach for strategic management, programs, and engagement, to create win-win relationships working with teams, partners and customers where success is a mutual outcome.
Thank you for the consideration and I look forward to speaking with you further to increase your confidence about my fit and potential.
Sincerely,
Guy Schlacter
