Bio
Audil Khan
I've had the opportunity and pleasure to work with Galen as his Solutions Engineer. Galen has a very tight focus on making sure that customers are receiving solutions that provide value not only today, but also for the future. He is a top-notch customer advocate, hard and smart worker, astute listener, strategic planner and thinker, and ensures that all the work needed (value, technical viability, financial, strategic game plan) to successfully work through a sales cycle is performed by all parties in a quality manner. Galen and I worked together on several significant wins in our time together at tw telecom/Level 3, and he is precisely the teammate and contributor you need in a successful sales org.

Galen is a true professional in every sense of the word. As our TWT and then Level3 rep, Galen always approached our requests in a holistic manner - helping us to find the best solution for us no matter how much leg-work it required on his end. Galen's wide knowledge of the industry makes him unique from a sales perspective, giving him the ability to converse with customers at a level most sales people are simply unable to achieve. Maybe the best indicator of Galen's ability is our reaction when our account was assigned to another rep. We escalated the decision for 3 weeks in an attempt to keep Galen on our account - illustrating the customer-first focus Galen brings to the table.
