“When Zak joined Smartsheet, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to mentor him, and was immediately impressed with his ability to ramp and acclimate to our product and go-to-market strategy. I have never seen a new Account Executive assimilate to the role as quickly as Zak. He was able to immediately find new opportunities, and in many cases, with dialogue directly with executives. His activity level, and his comfort with being uncomfortable early on led to his success, far exceeding his year one ARR and services quotas. Zak is a joy to work with, and does not wait for new opportunities to come his way. He truly has a knack for getting to the table and very quickly earning the trust and credibility with his customers, keeping their desired outcomes front and center throughout the sales cycle. I highly recommend Zak for any new challenge he chooses to take on.”
