EXPERIENCE

Netgear — Senior Training Manager

2005 - 2020

● I increased product placements and sales at key accounts for consumer and business products. Managed the deployment and successful sales of products in specialized accounts, including: HSN, school districts, hotel groups, airports, government accounts, in addition to other business and consumer accounts. In addition, I managed the company’s assisted sales team and led them to success while hiring, developing, and mentoring team members. I also developed curriculum and managed training of sales reps for all major accounts to increase product knowledge and mindshare for Netgear products.

● Introduced and managed the launch of networking access point products to the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), resulting in world-wide deployment. I launched an entire line of consumer products for Netgear, including networking, IoT, and smart home accessories. I represented Netgear at the grand opening of Fry’s store in Georgia which resulted in more sales in that one store than the entire Fry’s chain.

● Developed a plan and strategy which included creating and implementing training of major accounts’ store sales staff

Resulting in a 10x lift in retail sales and catapulted Netgear into the #1 position at retail.

I maintained this position by traveling throughout the United States to ensure training programs were managed and implemented correctly.

Actionlink — National Manager, Networking Division 2003 - 2005

● I drove growth of the overall networking category for Belkin by developing a successful launch of networking products in the consumer market.

I hired, developed, and directed sales teams and managers, focusing on big-box retailers. While managing two concurrent assisted sales teams at retail, I developed a strategic merchandising, sales, and training plan for increasing store sales and product knowledge. This resulted in growth from #6 to #1 product on the shelf for all networking products.

Over 200,000 people attended the events, increasing brand awareness and sales for Apple computer products.
