New Cloud Sales Engineer & Sr. Channel Manager for Central Region

Meets Demand of Growing Central Region for More Local, Dedicated Expertise
Petaluma, CA (August 15, 2016) – Intelisys Communications, Inc., the nation’s leading Technology Services Distributor, has hired two exceptional new colleagues to its Central Region team, bringing on a new regional Senior Channel Manager and highly experienced Senior Cloud Sales Engineer.

  1. Sheri Lindy, Senior Channel Manager, Central Region, is now supporting Sales Partners in MI, IN and OH. Her extensive channel background includes Earthlink, XO Communications and Quest/CenturyLink.
  2. Robert (Rob) Dallas, Senior Cloud Sales Engineer, Central Region, most recently served as Regional Director of Cloud Services for NaviSite, before joining the Intelisys Cloud Services Team. He also brings with him significant experience from Earthlink, Level 3, Alcatel, Marconi and Ameritech.

“We’ve identified a number of key growth areas in the Central Region, and our Sales Partners are looking for dedicated, regional support,” said Brandon Smith, VP Partner Sales & Business Development, Central Region, for Intelisys. “Rob and Sheri are armed with a deep understanding of the channel and the Central Region, and can point to several success stories within our current Partner base. It’s exciting to grow the Central Region team and offer increased, dedicated, in-time-zone support to our Central Region Sales Partners and Supplier Partners as they look to improve their cloud close rates and close more deals across the board. We’ve found two of the best in Sheri and Rob.”
Selected for, among other things, leadership skills, sales acumen, proven results, consistently meeting revenue targets, and a wide understanding of technology solutions, these new key additions were strategically chosen to help move the needle for Intelisys Sales Partners in the Central Region as the company strives to exceed the expectations of its Partners on a daily basis.
A channel professional with more than 16 years of experience in channel management, Sheri Lindy has a successful track record leading, developing and managing a base of indirect sales partners to achieve growth. She is based in Ohio.
“I love the channel, and I love taking care of and supporting my partners,” said Lindy. “This opportunity is right where I want to be. On the carrier side, which makes up a lot of my background, you only can offer what the carrier has to offer. Intelisys has an amazing portfolio and I am so excited to offer my Sales Partners the best of everything.”
Robert Dallas, based outside Dallas, TX, is a proven sales leader with over 20 years of industry experience. An expert in IaaS, SaaS and Managed Hosting for production and DR environments, he brings a solid combination of technical and business expertise to the Central Region.
“Cloud is a land rush for those who adopt the key solution sets,” said Dallas. “For those that aren’t out there yet, that’s what I’m here for. I want our Sales Partners to be well positioned to sell cloud and take advantage of this massive wave of opportunity. If they’re willing to adopt and take small steps to include cloud solutions in their portfolio, it will pay off in a huge way.”
