A poor upbringing from one of the roughest areas of Chicago didn’t stop Victor from earning a B.S. Electrical Engineering, an MBA and building a 20 year career as a top sales executive and becoming President of Global Sales and Marketing for a $420M company.
As Vice President of International Sales in a Fortune 500 $3B corporation at the time, he was selected from over 500 sales managers to join the President’s Advisory Council for excellence in sales and management.
He has shared the stage with top business speakers: Zig Ziglar, Daymond John (Shark Tank), Rudy Giuliani, Paul Otellini (CEO of Intel), and John May (CEO of FedEx Kinkos) and now he shares his thoughts with the SalesChange podcast.
The interview with Victor came about as pure chance thanks to a connection on Instagram and a random message to ask if he’d be interested – obviously he was and now he’s here to share how he’s coped and managed to ‘pivot’ (I hate that word) his speaking business to create a new online format.
