EVOTEK Kick’s off 2019: Welcomes its Newest Partners
A highlight of each year is to announce and invite new partners to our group. This year we highlighted the success of EVOTEK and the success of our partner program. EVOTEK breached $150M at the conclusion of our 4th year in business. Most of our peers in this space took 15 or 20 years to become this […]
The Best Investment You’ll Ever Make
One of my favorite things about working for EVOTEK is that our culture attracts, cultivates, and promotes top talent with diverse backgrounds. I’m consistently amazed with my interactions between me and my colleagues. Not to use a cliché, but so obvious that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. The industry is shrinking and […]
EVOTEK Turns 4
EVOTEK was a concept only a few short years ago. From Concept to over $100M, is beyond what I could ever have expected in such a short period of time. After all, me and a few others founded a VAR. VAR — a dying category. So, why did we create a company in a dying category, […]
Earning the Right to Participate in the Customer Journey
Marriott’s CEO Arne Sorenson was recently quoted saying “We are in an absolute war for who owns the customer.” and highlighted the threat that tech giants Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc. present to hospitality organizations. This war is over one thing – owning the user data. As a consumer who wants to assert ownership over their own data, […]
An Hour of Opportunity
One of the unique things about EVOTEK is the opportunity for every employee to earn a spot in our partner program. Being a Partner is an opportunity to help steer the direction of the business, participate in the inner workings of the organization, and being a growth catalyst for our customers. My personal journey to […]
You Don’t Quit Jobs, You Quit Bosses!
From the moment I started leading teams, I was attracted to the top performers. (yeah, I know, spoken like a true sales leader). But for me, it wasn’t their performance that was the attraction…it was their thought process, the way they approach their customers, a project, their life. A top performer has special set of skills […]
The Journey to the Cloud is More Important than the Arrival… Join Us on the Journey!
Cloud, Cloud, Cloud! It’s everywhere and everyone wants to get to it. But where is it? What is it? And why does everyone want to get there so fast? Frequently, I have heard the cloud referenced simply as “somebody else’s data center.” On the surface, it seems to fit. But it is not quite that simple. […]
A Celebration of Women – 2018
I began my career with Sun Microsystems and was paired with a few senior Account Managers. I was also assigned a mentor who was a veteran marketing executive making her debut in sales, Shannon Bradley. I remember Shannon as sharp, fast and wildly successful. She was super-creative, and I watched her do amazing things, that the other […]
The Last Job You Will Ever Have
Bold statement. Bold company. I frequently get asked about EVOTEK and how it is possible that we have grown as fast as we have. As proud as I am of getting asked that question, growth was not the initial vision for EVOTEK. The question I really like answering is why I created EVOTEK. Understanding WHY I created […]
EVOTEK Kicks Off 2018: Welcomes its Newest Partners
EVOTEK just completed our 3rd fiscal year in 2017. The company has 65 employees and over 60 contractors. It is hard to believe that only three short years ago, EVOTEK was an idea, or more specifically, a concept. “It all came down to employee engagement. It all came down to recognition. It all came down to […]
