Patrick Thierer

In my role as Lead Intern I was accountable for interviewing, onboarding and coordinating all Commercial Sales Interns in Germany. Further responsibilities included Account Management of regional and global customers as well as Partner Account Management by being part of the Commercial Sales Central Germany Team. As member and Co-Founder of Cisco’s Competence Team for Digital Manufacturing I used to work very closely with Innovation Alliance Partners and Senior Management.

Co-founded Disruptive Media GmbH from scratch in Munich and implemented all sales related activities and processes. Besides being involved in all founding related activities my focus was concentrating on Sales Management, Project Management, Organization Management and last but not least Risk Management.

As part of Cisco's Strategy-to-Execution Team I was involved in driving sales in a highly scaling way within an extremely dynamic market environment. My team was responsible to create, design, plan, motivate and drive execution of a scaling Go-to-Market plan inspired by input from Market, EMEAR Commercial, Architectures, Regional Commercial Sales Teams, Partner Organization and Marketing. The execution of our initiative was based on both, the Cisco sales team and a true Partner-led way.
