  Xo communications

  Jan 2002 - Jan 2008

  Enterprise national accounts

  Sold dial tone, internet connectivity, interactive voice response, collocation services, phone sytems, wide area network integration,, voip, and a variety of other telecommunications solutions. Sold more than most as we began to focus on solving real business problems for corporations and governments through technology and using math to quantify decisions for clients. Was top producing sales rep nationally in these years. Sitting face-to-face across the table from Carl Icahn and his team during the Allegiance Telecom & XO Communications merger taught me that my voice mattered and also made me contemplate the type of investor I would want to become. History and real world experience (failing forward not backwards) taught me that establishing long term value aligns more with my moral, ethical, and mathematical compass than some "short-term" approaches. I am truly blessed to have learned so much from Mr Icahn and the other leaders at XO Communications, otherwise labeled by my friends as "Hugs and Kisses Telecom". Lol. XOXOXO Show less

  Capital group | american funds

  May 2014 - Oct 2015

  Wholesaler

  Covered the conglomerates: UBS, Wells Fargo, Morgan Stanley, Merril Lynch. I learned a ton from this great active manager about managing money from a traditional sense and began to notice, from my own observations, the causality that affects global market movements. Hopefully they learned from me about understanding past to aid in predicting the future, chasing large deals with no fear, persistence, doing the little things each day to continue education; and giving our best each moment.
