Bio
John Felipe
Alex brings a wide range of technical expertise with the ability to add the commercial layer on top thus bringing the gap between those two domains. He has established in his role at Cisco a strong relationship with the sales team to become the technical pre-sales lead for all engagements with Vodafone across all OpCos in the EMEAR region.

I had the pleasure of working with Alex during his role as Cisco SON Technical Pre-Sales. I found that Alex was able to quickly understand all the customer issues, translate them in to options for solving them and the business benefits each would show in respect to those pain points. What was great to see was this performed and adapted brilliantly for differing audience position levels within the service providers. He tailored the messaging and technical depth to match the background each and every time turning highly complex solutions in to easily understandable propositions. He provides a great bridge between pure sales teams and engineering groups and keeps pushing to close out open issues to progress projects and keep schedules.
