Bio
Raza N. Hussain
I've had the pleasure of working with Jeff for a few years at Acrodex / PCM Canada. Jeff is the ultimate professional. He is a leader who is driven by results, who spends the time coaching and mentoring sales professionals to achieve team success. Working with Jeff on joint projects and initiatives was an absolutely delight. I always learned something new and appreciated his willingness to push the envelope and think "outside the box". It was very refreshing to work with a Sales leader who appreciated and supported non-traditional marketing methods. Jeff and I also worked on several Cisco Collaboration based RFx responses. These working sessions were absolutely critical to my professional development. Jeff taught me the craft of putting together a winning response. He has tremendous product knowledge and solution applicability when it comes to Cisco technology. He always thinks "client first", and would challenge our organization to consistently deliver services that are above and beyond expectations. I would recommend Jeff for any leadership position. Jeff, thank you for all you've done to contribute to my career growth and success.
