GARY SMITH
Divisional Head of Sales
Far from being a stereotypical sales professional, Gary exudes a pragmatic energy in his own propositions, people leadership, thought leadership, technology designs and programmatic ideas. He strongly believes that sales is ‘all about the story and the experience’ and that sales, as a profession, must continually modernise to it’s audiences needs today and in the future.
Knowledge collated from over 30 years in the IT sector, Gary has a rich and diverse experience of both direct sales and channel sales at influential levels. An energetic human, he loves nothing better than beating himself up trail running for miles and miles in/on/up the North Yorkshire Moors, or walking his Chihuahua for miles on a beach, followed by a cold Guinness and a chat with whoever in a nice pub. His pet hates – voicemail and hotels without an omelette chef. His big loves – the outdoors, amazing burgers, dogs, and warm sunshine.
