He has strengthened our supplier relationships, elevated our marketing impact, and brought in another top sales producer. Looking further down the road, Reza's mastery around global sales and technology — coupled with his forward-thinking ideas — will be instrumental to our long-term transformation."
"Whether driving through a significant business transformation to realize new opportunities, like Indigo, or a digital transformation to reveal better customer experiences, honing in on the right leadership is critical," says Rick DeRose, Acertitude Founder and Managing Partner. "We are seeing two hiring trends continue to dominate in 2017. Companies across the board are increasingly turning to the chief revenue officer position to ramp up their growth trajectory and seeking individuals who are resourceful, tech-savvy, and embrace change."

"Our goal was to identify and attract a high-caliber executive who could break new ground for the sales and marketing organizations and flourish in their entrepreneurial culture." He continues, "The Indigo leadership team's planful approach in hiring an executive who builds the capabilities of tomorrow is a game changer."
Most recently, Reza was the global vice president, software sales and presales, for NCR Corporation, where he developed and executed their global sales strategy, after serving as vice president, software sales Americas, for two years.
