Bio
Stefania Sigurdson Forbes MBA
Dennis is one of those stand-out people whose positive yet honest, demeanor is contagious. His insights, warmth, and joie-de-vivre make him a pleasure to work with at ILEC. He is both a listener and a thoughtful contributor, and I look forward to working with him further. I would strongly recommend Dennis as a coach.
Dean Nolley
Dennis was an excellent Sales Director that displayed unparalleled leadership that was instrumental with his success in building out a national sales organization that included 17 Managers and 170 Sales Professionals in less than 45 days. Dennis was always well respected by his team and was consistently successful with balancing relationships with accountability across his sales organization. As important, Dennis identified talent in sales and sales manager candidates that others missed and then took it to the next step by helping develop them into more successful managers or individual contributors. Dennis was passionate about the continual training and development of his people and that extra effort by Dennis was the catalyst in the dynamic sales culture that he and his organization enjoyed. In summary, I was fortunate to have Dennis as a Director and would be proud to have him as part of any future organizations and know that any engagement you have with Dennis will be a rewarding venture for you and your people.
Jon Lloyd
I had the pleasure of working with Dennis in a couple different roles. While reporting to Dennis as a Global Technology Sales Manager, his outstanding leadership was contagious. Not only did I appreciate his empowering and insightful leadership style, but I grew as an effective leader for my team of reports. We both went into different roles and found ourselves in more of a collaborative relationship with his team of technical sales engineers and my field team of Account Managers- even with these new roles, Dennis was still a great mentor for me and his strong leadership continued to show through his new team to mine.
