2 people have recommended Walt

"During the time I worked with Walt, our company had merged with or purchased nine technology
companies. It was a huge effort to merge our sales organizations, engineering teams, customer
support and consulting teams / methodologies ... and still remain a cohesive organization. Walt
was very instrumental in developing cross-departmental processes that would work across all the
solutions we had to deliver and manage. Even though he was traveling extensively, he made the
time to learn the products … even though he was in a management role – not a delivery role. This
made a big difference in his ability to suggest creative solutions during the sales process, and also
in his ability to understand and manage client implementations. He intimately understood the issues
we were having and the consulting group highly valued his opinion. I would highly recommend Walt
for any sales or consulting position and would love to work with him again."

—Deneen Clark, Business Solutions Consultant - Customer Experience & Marketing Solutions,  T.

Rowe Price,  reported to Walt at Kana Communications

"Walt served as a domain expert for work I did assembling Kickfire's technical product overview.
He has an excellent understanding of data warehousing and the major players in the industry. Walt
guided me through some very complex topics and demonstrated a great deal of technical acumen
to the extent that technology almost seems like an extension of his being. He's authoritative, but at
the same time his affable nature makes him highly approachable. I'd welcome the opportunity to
work with him again."

—Mike Cichon, Sr. Director Digital Marketing,  ThreatMetrix,  worked directly with Walt at Kickfire
