Bio
Troy Locke
Paddy has a unique set of strategic selling skills. Know when to hold them and when to fold them. Paddy is always up beat and doesn't double talk about colleagues or the organisation, a rare commodity in the high pressure tech sales arena. I would recommend Paddy for any organisation, especially any emerging vendor that requires a steady and wise hand at the wheel.
Nicki Matakaiongo
I have worked with many sales people over the decades and Paddy is one of the best. He is the consummate sales professional; knowledgeable about the products he represents, and passionate about achieving the best outcomes for his clients and the company. His engaging personality simply wins you over and it is an absolute pleasure to work alongside him.
Simon Burke
I was "impressed at first sight" with Paddy because he was prepared, researched and exhibited significant emotional intelligence. He has all the powers and skills of experience including listening, sense of humour, bias for action and excellent communication skills. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Paddy because of his professionalism and trust that he earns from colleagues and clients. Most importantly in the sales role he can close deals!
