About Ed Wentzel

With an extensive background in product and sales engineering, business systems management, and exponential growth, I have devoted my career to empowering high-performing teams to navigate business value creation and accelerate revenue maximization. Guided by an understanding that business exists to solve problems, I have made it my mission to genuinely understand what those issues are, and to create the strategic and innovative solutions that enable organizations to act with agility, make future-forward decisions, and be positive disruptive forces in their industries. Throughout my career, I have distinguished myself by creating deep and meaningful partner alliances, utilizing cutting-edge technologies, and leading world-class teams with freedom, authenticity, and trust to deliver exceptional sustainable outcomes. Some notable achievements include:• Designing and implementing both commercial and incentive programs, driving processes to ensure correct channelling of group companies, and governing training programs to facilitate stronger communication and more robust value-based client partnerships with NTT Americas. • Providing client engagement, sales strategy, and strategic coaching and guidance for deals exceeding $50M while pivoting from network to services business.• Strategizing technology positioning, researching and conceptualizing avant-garde product ideas, and proffering recommendations for design enhancements to improve client experience, product success, and profitability. • Driving sales to a larger audience and client base via cross and upsell optimization, rapidly jumpstarting a business to $150M; within three years, that same business ballooned to $350M+. • Establishing an SAP-centric joint venture with The Coca-Cola Company, creating a multimillion-dollar outsource, the largest in Coke’s history.
