Hello everyone, the name is Tashfiq Akhand, aka "Tash", and I am the National Partner Technical Leader for NetApp Canada. I've been helping many professionals and early in career unlock their full potential by helping through Resume Revisions, Interview Preparation, Career Planning, and Career acceleration. Whether you're a recent graduate, aspiring to change roles, or seeking guidance to unlock your career aspirations, I offer personalized sessions tailored to your goals.

About me:
It is my responsibility to manage, lead, and most importantly enable the NetApp partner solution architects nation-wide. I am responsible for crafting national sales and partnership strategies, with a strong emphasis on data infrastructure, data intelligence, and data security.

While in the past I was a Veritas Enterprise SE who covered the Canadian Federal Government and Western Canada, I possess the expertise to devise strategic blueprints for delivering mission-critical solutions to customers.

I've sold to federal government accounts, large energy companies, large financial institutions, as well as many in the Fortune 500, ranging from $50k up to $4M deals, exceeding targets and hitting the juicy accelerators. I know many avenues of sales segments as I cover the country and my key strength is being customer-centric and being able to articulate advanced technical solutions in a comprehensive manner to all audiences. I do by always questioning the "why?" and having a genuine curiosity to all things as a SE.

I achieved this at a sub-30 age and want to help others accelerate their careers whether it’s a sales/solutions engineer, account executive, or SDR/BDR in the tech space.
