    • Account Manager
      • Mar 2010 - Oct 2010

      Pro Defence was a distribution arm of Global Secure Systems, and was later sold to CMI. When the opportunity presented itself, I requested a 3 month trial to take over the role of sales (and support). During this time, we took on several key products, including a UTM Firewall appliance (GTA), a removable backup solution (Idealstor), and AirMagnet wireless network deployment solution. I increased the reseller base whilst maintaining relationships with existing clients and consistently meeting & exceeding targets month over month. Through working on my own with little guidance, I was able to learn how distribution works in the IT Security industry with greater scope than would be normally offered to someone of my age and experience.
