Howard’s professional journey began at Danzas / DHL where he became the company’s Top North American Rep shortly after graduating from university.  That early success as sales expert earned him the posting to Hong Kong as North America Key Account Manager, where he spearheaded 300% growth in his first and 2nd year.

From there he was recruited as Global Account Director responsible for the Fortune 500 High Tech Sector.  With over 500 Million in personal sales to companies like HP, Boeing, Airbus, Motorola and Dell, while leading a global sales team, Howard discovered that he was just as good at coaching sales as he was making them.
