MORE ON KYLE:

Kyle spent his early career at Qualtrics. He was hired as an SDR and promoted through AE and leadership levels into his final role, a second-line leader responsible for all SaaS revenue in the Midwest corporate market and the North American SMB region.

Accomplishments include finishing years as the #1 corporate AE, #1 corporate team lead, and #1 corporate sales manager for an $8 billion+ tech company. He qualified for President’s Club five consecutive years as an AE, front-line leader, and second-line leader.

Kyle lives in the Chicago suburbs with his wife and three children. He loves leisure time with family, reading, building lego kits with his kids, and is convinced NFL Red Zone is the greatest invention in world history.
