Hannah Pencek | Chapter Chair
Vonage
Commercial Sales Manager
Contact HannahLike many in our profession, I did not grow up aspiring to be in sales. It's a career I fell into but quickly fell in love with. For many reasons but mainly because of the freedom we as sellers have to be creative and find unique ways to connect with people and problem solve. Sales is an art.
It's my mission to continuously study sales and leadership. Personal and professional development is in my DNA. My findings, own experiences, successes and failures inspire the content for Stuff About Sales, a Podcast found on Apple, Spotify and Google.
I am currently a sales leader at Vonage, the most flexible cloud communications platform in the world. My team of Commercial Account Executives specialize in Channel Sales, which is one of the fastest growing pockets of our entire business.
