Barrett Elkins
Enterprise Account Manager – Government and Education at Cylance Inc.

I have had the pleasure of working extensively in the SLED space during my 13+ years of sales, gaining deep, meaningful insights into how the right IT solutions can enable innovative, thriving business enterprises. I have introduced successful implementations for storage, networking, client refreshes, support operations, systems management, disaster recovery, secure and privileged access, identity management, data governance, and EPP/EDR.
My strengths include:
– Understanding near- and long-term initiatives set forth by executive leadership of large, complex organizations

– Aligning the resources necessary to ensure the highest probability of customer success before, during, and after my solutions are implemented.
