“I worked with Jim over the last 3 years at Tintri -- Jim was one of the strongest sales leaders in the organization on several business fronts. His deep understanding of the market space provided invaluable feedback to the product and engineering teams, while allowing the entire sales organization to be better prepared on large strategic account engagements. Additionally, his creativity in large accounts and ability to recruit as well as retain sales talent, in one of the most competitive markets in the industry (Silicon Valley), is a testament to his business background, leadership skills, hard work and desire to build a world class selling organization. He consistently delivered on the sales goals and worked closely with his peer group to build a better company. I would highly recommend Jim for leading a sales team and providing deep thought leadership to both his team as well as the entire company. ”
