Bio
Richard Paul
Carla has to be one of the best vendor representatives I've dealt with. In her role at NETGEAR she was very receptive to our requirements, always provided good ideas to assist us in our revenue goals and managed her territory extremely well. She will be a great asset to any company.
John Henkel
I recommend Carla without any hesitation. She was responsible for taking on the new Pro AV category in her region and creating a new sub-distribution model which grew rapidly in less than 18 months. Additionally, she leveraged partnerships and the wider NETGEAR team to bring in numerous opportunities both in her region and around the world. Carla is very responsive and open to finding new ways to find business resulting in success after success.
