  CSI Leasing

    CSI Leasing helps medium to large companies reduce the costs of managing IT equipment from "cradle to grave" through managed lease programs. CSI brings "best practices" to the process of acquiring IT equipment and recycling services to avoid the risk of lost data and illegal dumping. I developed the San Diego/Hawaii/Nevada territory from zero to a $70,000,000 portfolio with $900,000 in monthly lease streams. My clients included WFI, Epsilon Systems, Jenny Craig, Jack in the Box, Mitchell International, ViaSat, National Pen, Luce Forward, Procopio Law, Synteract, Cymer and McCain Traffic.

    I joined a new sales team to generate revenue in California's deregulated energy space. Sold energy efficiency solutions to the healthcare industry. Led a successful sale at Catholic Healthcare West and finished second to Enron in a $80 million project at Kaiser. It's rare that finishing 2nd could be considered a win. While we stayed with selling what we knew we could deliver and maintaining our integrity and reputation at the highest levels, Enron's story of failure is well documented.
