"Business Development is about finding a joint win-win for the company, for the customer, and for the partner. I love interacting with CIOs, CEOs, and other influencers who can see value and know how to leverage value in the marketplace. I always seek the 1+1=3 equation in all areas. I love eliminating hurdles and roadblocks, working across technology, development, sales and marketing groups. The best thing about business development is you never have a dull moment and are constantly learning."
