Lee Shorten

I believe leading teams is a privilege and I have always created a culture to allow people to thrive and be successful. Doing things right, driving positive impact to the bottom line of an organisation and building pride amongst the workforce. I believe there is no better feeling for staff than when you break down silos in an organisation and enable them to work toward a single goal as a team which always delivers success I have led teams from multiple disciplines including Research and Development, Manufacturing, Services, Business Development and Marketing both field and Vertical across EMEA and Globally. Whilst at Symbol, Motorola I was part of their global speaking circuit, regularly running workshops and seminars to groups of around 300 people primarily showing sales people and partners how to lead customer engagements with value. I was also chosen to speak at the plenary session for the global sales conference to over 3,000 sales people and partners.

My last post was as Managing Director for Avaya UK & Ireland, where I led the UK team including Finance, Sales Op's, Services, Marketing, Technical Operations and Sales; Key successes have mostly been in sales leadership and turn arounds working closely with high touch/direct sales and channel sales teams, distributors, systems integrators, service providers and resellers, winning major international business and exec sponsoring F 500 companies. I am most proud of the teams I have built both Direct & Virtual, locally and internationally. I have strong knowledge and experience in Manufacturing, Finance, Retail, Transport & Logistics, UK Government and Service delivery Industries.
