Bio
Richard Shaw
If you have a big account and need a big hitter, Shafique is your man. I had the pleasure of working with him for over 2 years, in the same role on different continents. He'd be working on our VIP west coast accounts, making magic happen, bringing technical leadership and authority to the customer's table. Massively respected by the rest of the team and company, Shafique actively contributes to the growth of the team and culture of the company, he sets the bar high for others to follow, and given the opportunity, I'd love to work with him again.

If you are considering interviewing Shafique, grab him before he gets hired by someone else. As an SE selling to Fortune 500 companies, we lean on SAs to help us get the sale, to make a new customer successful or to help existing customers out of tight spots. Not only does he do all of the above, he has the rare combination of talents of being great on the phone, having excellent technical skills, and being reliable with world-class follow-through. Customers love him, teammates rely on him, and SEs use him to make sales happen. Bring him on to your team if you are lucky enough to get the opportunity to do so.
