Michelle Sharp
I worked with Louise in my capacity as Head of IOT at Vodafone, she was the client Manager leading on Vodafones first & largest end to end asset tracking solution in NZ FY 2020 / 2021. Louise and the IOT team were successful in closing the sale with the customer worth $6.5mNZD across 15,000 connections and devices. Louise is relationship savvy and builds trusted relationships with clients, she has great business acumen and has the profitability of all parties front of mind at all times. She was passionate about working with her customer to understand their business drivers, help them solve problems & ultimately achieve their goals. She showed real tenacity and was always focused on the results across a yearlong sales cycle.
