What is it like at Goliath? Hear from a few team members

Heather Hanlon

“I started with Goliath Technologies as an intern while I was in college. After graduating with Bachelors in Computer Science in 2014 I was offered a full time position in the technical operations department as a Technical Analyst.”

John Grant

Director of Worldwide Sales
Having come from other tech companies where “staff development” wasn’t exactly a priority, Goliath truly was a breath of fresh air for me. Irrespective of the department, the whole focus is on investing the time & resources in people so that they can grow their skill sets & advance their career goals. Add in total transparency & open communication with the executive team, and in my opinion it adds up to an exceptional environment for those who want to grow professionally. I knew it was for me.”

Joe Lacalandra

Senior Client Success Executive
“If you enjoy a fast-paced work environment where you can advance your career quickly than Goliath is a great fit for you.”

Jeremy Gabriel

Senior Account Executive
It’s fantastic to work somewhere that has such a clear sales process and methodology, where you utilize and learn not only tactics but strategy… For the individual it’s rewarding, if you take advantage of it, because there are resources available and easy to follow benchmarks of expectations to help you improve at your job and advance your career. In addition there is scheduled, on-going training to support you in that evolution, which everyone talks about being important but I’ve never seen done before on an organizational level. For increasing your expertise as a professional, for strengthening your mastery of attraction, influence, tactics, and strategy I can’t imagine a better place to work.”

Avi Lipp

Pre-sales Engineer
“Goliath has offered me the ability to progress my career through experience in multiple departments, enabling me to find what I am truly passionate about while providing me with the support and resources I needed to become successful within each position.”

Hear from industry leaders that are products of great culture created by Thomas Charlton. 

Adam Clay

– Chief Revenue Officer
– Logz.io
“I started at Shunra Software as a Regional Sales Manager. After going through management training and mentoring I was promoted to VP of North American Sales, then VP of WW Sales. This all transpired within 5 years.”

Paul Throldahl

– Chief Revenue Officer
– Terrain Insights – PWC
“I have more experience than most with the Executive team’s philosophy and style. At Tidal Software I was regional manager and went through the sales, business, and management training programs. I then joined the Executive Team and implemented these same programs at TrailBlazer Systems, VoiceGenie, and finally PHD Virtual as VP of World Wide Sales. The philosophy of investing in employee development is one that I participated in and continue in my Company today.”

Matt Reid

– Chief Marketing Officer
– EZ Texting
“Early in my career I worked with this management team at Tidal Software as a Sales Engineer and was provided excellent business training. As the company grew, so did my responsibilities and I ended up quickly being promoted to Product Marketing. A few years later I joined the same executive management team at Shunra Software where I directed global product and marketing teams. The training and experience I gained in two companies with this team was invaluable and I now impart the lessons I learned to other colleagues.”

Adrian Lee Kwen

– Sr VP Engineering
– Genesys
“I worked at VoiceGenie Technologies with the CEO as a member of the Executive Team for two years prior to being acquired by Genesys. I learned many key things including the importance of rewarding and aligning teams. Moreover, I especially appreciated the focus of the CEO to continuously develop and improve myself and the rest of the management team.
I feel quite fortunate to have spent time on the CEO’s leadership team. We delivered on all metrics as a team and had fun despite the tremendous pressure. I continue to apply what I learned during this time in my current position.”

Todd Hogan

– Sr. Director Sales Operations and Enablement
– Synopsys
“I joined Tidal Software as an individual contributor and immediately appreciated the culture and performance-based attitude of the entire company. I enjoyed tremendous success at Tidal and was subsequently asked to lead a new strategic partnership team and then later promoted to RVP of Sales. It was an easy decision to join Shunra several years later to lead a sales team. The personal mentoring and management training I was exposed to in both organizations are directly responsible for my continued career growth.”

Bruce Eidsvik

– SVP, Global Revenue Marketing
– Genesys
“At VoiceGenie, I was one of the founders and ran the international sales force and in due course, the WW sales force. We had done well as a start-up, but we were running out of steam. Thomas was brought in as our new CEO to help re-ignite growth. Without any real changes to the management team, we reestablished our aggressive growth path and were successfully acquired 2 years later. I still work for the company, Genesys, that acquired VoiceGenie, along with many original VoiceGenie employees. It was a very fun ride and Genesys has been a great place to land.”
