A background in consultancy or software sales, with the credibility to sell both software and advisory services.
A proven software seller. Exposure to ITSM platforms (ServiceNow or similar) is highly beneficial
A true player/coach who can close deals personally and develop a high-performing team.
Experience selling into Defence, Central Government, NHS or Financial Services, with a “black book” of contacts to bring.
