Bio
Munish Kumar Sidana
I worked with Niels for around a year on various security solutions and POCs. I have not worked with many account managers like him. So quick in responding to the queries, instant in arranging POCs and extended all help he could in his capacity. He worked effortlessly to get our issues and concerns answered. What else could you ask from a vendor? The Best thing was that he did all this while always managing the expectations right at both sides. Go-getter attitude, strategic, passion, commitment that is what you look in a brilliant account manager and Niels has it all!
Nik Loveridge
Great knowledge and expertise ! Also very patient and accommodating with people new to the (sometimes very technical) area. Great business partner too - fully understands the pressures and constraints of a business environment and offers great support in demonstrating return on investment. Would recommend !
