• Consistently meet/exceed sales targets.

• Maintain an accurate forecast of sales pipeline, commit and best case.

• Cultivate and manage relationships with federal resellers, distributors, and systems integrators, and transact through GSA MAS, SEWP, and agency-specific contract vehicles.

• Leverage Delinea’s executives, and their networks, to gain access to prospective clients.

• Never stop learning! Continue to hone your craft and build your expertise in Cybersecurity.

• Ability to conduct both executive level presentations and high-level technical presentations.
