About Derek
I have been at Tech Data for over 4 years in both the Inside Sales and Product Marketing divisions. In my current role, I own the reseller enablement for the Tech-as-a-Service program at Tech Data, since program inception in December 2017. Through this experience I am proficient in Device-as-a-Service, developing Solution Subscriptions models and becoming knowledgeable about Tech Data’s ability to be a total solution aggregator for our partners. I have helped several partners build or improve their as-a-Service or Managed Service offerings using a combination of resources within Tech Data and our vendor community.
