StoAmigo Executive Joins Distinguished Speakers for SIAA Maximize: Beyond the Cloud

John Papadakis to address conference attendees on ways to connect with clients and create winning relationships.

Las Vegas, NV, May 17, 2014 --(PR.com)-- John Papadakis, senior vice president of Sales and Business Development for StoAmigo, has been selected as a featured panelist for SIAA Maximize: Beyond the Cloud. The event will be held May 20-22 at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, CA.

“As an industry, we have moved beyond discussing the myths and realities of cloud models. Companies are now focusing on the disruptive technological advancements created by SaaS and cloud computing,” said Rhianna Collier, vice president of SIIA’s Software division.

“SIIA's Maximize brings software and technology executives together to explore these emerging opportunities for driving revenue generation and rapid growth in the as-a-service marketplace.”

Topics will include the Internet of Things, hybrid cloud solutions, business intelligence and other innovations that are transforming the functionality and scope of the market. Papadakis is part of a panel discussion on “Winning Today’s Customer,” where executives will discuss best practices for streamlining the sales process and closing opportunities faster.

“Salespeople need the proper tools and the proper authority in order to be effective. That combination allows them to not only understand their negotiating boundaries, but also frees them to make the ad hoc decisions that capitalize on available windows of opportunity,” Papadakis said.

“We’ll dig deeper into those dynamics during the conference. Hopefully the attendees will walk away with ideas they can implement immediately.”

Papadakis has 35 years of experience in the field of IT and Telecommunications. He serves on numerous boards and has held many senior positions worldwide, from Chief Operating Officer of AT&T Mediterranean to Vice Chairman of Telecommunication and IT companies. His impressive background includes advising major world figures and international organizations, including the Czech government and the Minister of Communication of Greece.
