Business Development Manager | Tech-30

A little about my career path: After completing my BS in Mechanical Engineering and ME in Engineering Management, I started my first job as an account manager for Siemens Energy, selling high voltage transmission and distribution equipment to utilities and construction companies. After a year a and half, I had the opportunity to join Tech-30, a value added reseller of PTC software. My team focuses on selling PTC's solutions in CAD, CAE, CAM, PLM, AR, and 3D printing. My technical degree and business education and experience have contributed heavily to the success I have enjoyed in my current role.

Ask me about: How did you get into sales after completing a technical degree? Do you recommend starting with a technical position before transitioning to business? How do you manage work-life balance with your family and job? What's the best path for me to pursue entrepreneurship?
