What was your experience working with Ivan?
Ben Tellez: So my experience working with Ivan was a very, very interesting one. He did a great job for us. Uh I worked with a man. I managed a man directly for about three years. He was one of our sales leaders selling technology, uh for different, uh, brands in some of our offices in, in the US. Uh, he's very diligent. He's excellent. He's a great leader. He's a passionate man that knows how to get the best out of people.
How would you describe Ivan's ability to lead, get results, and contribute to team culture?
Ben Tellez: So a man's ability to lead, uh, commercial teams is, is he's a natural, he's a natural this guy. Uh, and more importantly, he's extremely reliable. He shows up, he's ready to go the first guy and ready to instill all that energy that commercial team sometimes need, uh, and ready to do whatever it takes for them. Uh, he's very funny as well. He's a great guy to have in the office managing your teams. Um, you always see that positive energy that you need in a sales team that kind of like comes in and says we're gonna get this done. We're gonna, we're gonna hit the numbers, you know, and you want that positive energy, you want that positive direction and leadership and, and Ivan always brought that to the floor. I never, I never remember seeing Ivan um, um, kind of like sad or depressed or down. He was always up, he was always leading and most importantly, he was leading from the front and he would even sit down and show the guys how he's done. He would pick up the phone and he would do the hard work. I would say that a man likes to lead sales teams from the trenches.
Is there anything else you would like to share?
Ben Tellez: Yeah, and a sign of Ivan's, uh, very impressive, uh, um leadership qualities. He's a great human being. Right? So, and we want more of those around in the offices, particularly in fierce, you know, know, target driven environments. It's important to have great people around aside aside of not just kind of like being talented and, and, and very qualified sales leaders, but, you know, the human human aspect of it, I believe that it is really important as well. And, And Ivan is a fantastic, fantastic man to have around.
