Bio
Kenneth LaFrankie
Incredible manager with sharp business skills...thinks beyond tactical sales efforts. Looks at long view of penetrating federal accts by leveraging internal resources to include channel and services to exceed quarterly goals. I closed (4) seven figure opportunities working for Brian at ActivCard and IronKey. Excellent at developing 90 to 20 day roadmap for navigating federal markets to include: pricing strategy, channel delvelopment, product allignment and services model. Would highly reccomend him to any federal team.
