Driving Wildix’s global sales organization, delivering support to over 1,000 business partners in reaching key business objectives and scaling globally. 

Wildix is a multinational company that develops and provides browser-based unified communication solutions and VoIP products. The company relies on its Blue Ecosystem, a network of certified business partners who install, integrate and implement Wildix systems and solutions all over the world.

As the CSO for Wildix, I deliver business improvements across the company, driving sales teams to achieve more. Key to this has been moving our sales teams from a multifaceted approach to a more focused hunter-farmer separation of responsibilities, adding in the BDR role. Partner sales staff now seek out new partners, and our partner development managers help drive MRR, all under the supervision of our country managers. BDRs sift the initial data, determining the suitability of leads.

I’ve also introduced a new sales program across Wildix to focus our sales teams on establishing core values for prospective partners, and we’ve extended the same training to our MSPs. The result is a company ethos that shows it invests in its business partners, enhancing the value proposition of Wildix. We’ve joined the Gartner Magic Quadrant, as well. 

The Wildix Blue Ecosystem now produces tens of millions of dollars in annual recurrent revenue, compared to a couple of million in 2020. This delivers business stability, ensuring we remain bootstrapped and can grow sustainably. 


Feel free to connect and start a discussion. If there is something I can help you with, I’m happy to do it.

National Retail Federation is not for tourists.



It’s where retail gets serious.

The x-hoppers team will be there.
So will I.

Because the retailers who still treat their stores like static showrooms?

They won’t survive 2026.

We’re showing up to meet the in-store leaders who get it:

- Salesfloor visibility in real time
- Empowered staff who sell, not just smile
- Audio tech that turns chaos into coordination

Retail isn’t “dying.” 

It’s transforming. And fast.

Come find me at NRF.

I’ll show you what modern retail execution actually looks like.

NRF veterans: what booth should we not miss this year?
