Backblaze business backup continues to grow and so does the department. Vincent has recently joined the team to help bring new clients to Backblaze! Let’s learn a little more about Vincent, shall we?
What is your Backblaze Title?
Business development representative
Where are you originally from?
Born and raised in San Jose, CA
What attracted you to Backblaze?
The solution, the culture of the company, and the great opportunity for growth with a company that is still growing.
What do you expect to learn while being at Backblaze?
I expect to perfect my sales skills, become better at prospecting, and eventually move to a closing role. Beyond that; I would like to pursue a leadership role.
Where else have you worked?
I was previously a business development representative at Panzura, selling their Hybrid-Cloud NAS solution. Before that, I was a renewal specialist at Barracuda Networks renewing a wide range of networking solutions.
Why do you like certain things?
I like things that force me to be creative.
Favorite hobby?
I’ve been boxing for the past 8 years. I’m hoping to compete soon. My dad has been playing lead guitar in a band since his high school days, so naturally music has always been a part of my life. I’ve been producing music since 2005/2006: everything from hip-hop, R & B, to smooth jazz. I’ve been DJing for a number of years and am always looking for my next gig.
Favorite food?
Too many to name.
Star Trek or Star Wars?
Haven’t seen either. I know, I know. You can’t believe it.
Coke or Pepsi?
Whiskey
Anything else you’d like to tell us?
Hard work. Dedication. Everyone wants to be successful; no one wants to put the work in.
Welcome to the team, Vincent! We may need your DJing skills at our next event!
