Christian Durning, MBA

“I would only attach my name to a recommendation with extensive knowledge of a person's abilities as an employee and person.  I worked with Christian Durning for >5 years.    I can 100% vouch for his level of professionalism and motivation to lead teams towards success. Partnering with Christian and his commitment to a thriving channel was one of appeals of my joining CrowdStrike.  He was always willing to do whatever it took to build/rebuild trust and respect with the channel ecosystem and it worked!  We pioneered strategies with key ecosystem partners and drove unparalleled growth.   The growth numbers we accomplished with our "One Team One Fight" approach was exactly what was needed.   In a 4 year run, we took the worst performing region and made it amongst the best in North America. -J.D. ”

“I had the privilege of working under Christian’s leadership for 3+ years at CrowdStrike. During that time, he was responsible for managing a team of Sales Executives focused on Enterprise and Key Accounts. Under Christian’s leadership, we were able to build a business in the Southeast that previously had low penetration to one that exceeded many companies’ total revenue. We accomplished that by having a strong GTM plan that focused on developing lasting customer relationships at all levels, running tight sales campaigns, understanding our competition, executing relevant marketing and partner strategies that delivered unique and memorable experiences. Christian is a great mentor and has helped many of his team members develop their skills as sales professionals. He knows how to manage salespeople without being overbearing by being fair and supportive of our individual success. He made sure that we had the necessary tools and cleared any roadblocks in our way. His patience is unlimited and built a team culture of winning where everyone is encouraged to succeed. Always willing to go the extra mile. His commitment to his people (both as employees and as people) clearly sets him apart from typical sales managers. Christian challenged me to be the best version of myself and always recognized my efforts. In summary, Christian is a rare leader that knows how to build a resilient business and team. More importantly, he is a valuable mentor with high integrity and character. He will continue this success in any endeavor.”
