***161% Annual Revenue Growth*** From January 2014 to December 2014 (1 year) Senior Sales Manager @ As a Senior Sales Manager, I moved over to our Public Sector subsidiary, AvePoint Public Sector (APS) continuing to do most of the functions I had come accustomed to in my previous managerial roles at AvePoint except this time, with a much larger team and a much larger Quota.
In this role I managed an entirely new cast of sales people focused in the three main public sector territories, State and Local Govt., Fed Civilian, and DOD/National Security.
