Adam Oskwarek
I worked with Keith a few years ago at Vodafone. I was at that time an overlay BDM in our Fixed Line team working with VF core mobile teams to secure mobile deals and upsell Fixed Line services into them. Keith was a BDM in core mobile at the time. Keith and I had a positive and constructive working relationship and we worked hard to canvas and grow our pipeline of new business opportunities with numerous successes of joint consultative sales along the way. Keith was one of the most pro-active members of the core mobile community in seeing the opportunity to win more business and entangle customers through selling the broader product set that VF can deliver. Keith is a very personable chap and I enjoyed working with him. He's adaptable (he came from out of industry to join VF), pragmatic in his approach, and hard working. It gives me great pleasure to recommend him as a great team member or standalone professional.
