Raleigh, NC, May 21, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Plus One Partners, a leading Triangle strategic sales consulting firm, is proud to announce that Brian Baker, founder and managing partner, has been recognized by the Triangle Business Journal as one of the area’s top 40 leaders under the age of 40. Recipients of the journal’s ‘40 Under 40’ award were honored at a banquet celebrating the area’s top young, established community and business leaders on May 7 at North Ridge Country Club in Raleigh.

Baker started Plus One Partners in 2009, after holding executive and management roles with several prominent national companies – including AT&T, BTI, NuVox Communications and most recently as Vice President Sales for Hosted Solutions.

"It’s an honor to be recognized as a local leader in the Triangle, where I’ve been fortunate enough to build a great career, start a family and stay involved outside the office," says Baker. "The business environment here has been very receptive to the Plus One Partners offering, and the company is off to a great start. I’m looking forward to a long, bright future here – both inside and outside the business world.”

With success comes the responsibility to give back, and Baker takes that motto to heart as an active member of several local organizations and charities. He is a regular volunteer with Band Together NC, the American Cancer Society, the WakeMed Foundation, and Soccer Kids of America.
