Tech Sales Leadership for a New Era w/ Tim Sleep & Sean Garvey

I am joined by Tim Sleep and Sean Garvey of Odgers Berndtson, Australia’s fastest-growing retained Executive Search firm. Recently the company conducted a study where they asked 50 country, regional and global Managing Directors of Software and Services companies about their last six months’ experiences in Australia and New Zealand.

 

They collated their findings into a whitepaper titled Technology Sector MD Insights – The opportunities and challenges of the crisis. How is it affecting our business?

A very pertinent topic for our discussion, and high value for all leaders, especially those in the technology sector.
