Background

About Scot Oslund

Strong technical and business knowledge” “Strategic thinker with a solid orientation toward long-range planning and project management” “Successful in launching technology services in challenging environments” “Demonstrated thought leadership and an ability to overcome complex obstacles” “One of the best in the business” I borrowed those words from a reference letter written a few years ago by the CEO of a technology company where I served as a Vice President of Strategy and Channel Development. I believe they speak to the cornerstones of what has enabled my successful sales career. As a technology sales professional, I’ve acquired extensive telecommunications and information services experience with complementary professional skills and leadership expertise in sales management, pre-sales engineering, marketing, channel development, and operational support. I’ve carried those skills to the forefront of the technology world of network, cloud, data center, security and 5G services and continue to succeed as a versatile technology sales executive with notable successes in developing and leading start-up and high-growth business units in dynamic and highly competitive situations. WHAT DRIVES ME I’m passionate about solution creation and driving the sales process that is required in complex sales. I love startups and driving the creative use of internal resources to structure deals. As a “people builder”, I’m equally passionate about creating teams that work together. One of my greatest thrills is helping team members develop the skill sets that will buoy their success and removing the obstacles that may threaten that success. WHAT SETS ME APART Breadth of experience: Unified communications, information security, managed services, infrastructure management, network services, data center services, disaster recovery, business continuity, voice over IP, implementation, professional services, and life cycle management. Innovation and creativity Reliability and authenticity Deal structuring Ability to build trusted advisor and strategic partner relationships with customers Deep account development Sales team development Operational and managerial skills HOW TO REACH ME: Email: scotoslund@comcast.net
