From A to IPO, Find the Company that Works for You and Your Career
Are you a new grad exploring the software scene? Or well into your career but looking to break into tech? Maybe you have the personality for a career in sales but never actually tried it? Join MuleSoft and WideAngle for a night of lively discussion on what it’s really like to work in tech sales and how to get your foot in the door, no matter your career level.
You’ll hear from Steven Broudy (@stevenbroudy), Head of Account Development, Americas, on his unique transition from the US Army to software sales; Jon Birdsong (@JonnyBird), CEO of WideAngle, on how the sales function develops at a venture-funded startup; Sahra Jabbehdari (@SahraJabbehdari), Senior Account Development Executive at MuleSoft on moving into tech as a new grad; and Andy Shorkey, Regional Vice President, South at MuleSoft on moving from some of the biggest companies in tech (including Oracle and Workday) to working at a mid-sized company. The panel will be moderated by MuleSoft Recruiter Carly Donovan. We hope to see you for this exciting event—bring questions!
Light snacks, sodas, beer, and wine will be provided. Find directions and parking instructions here.
