I build new sales motions for enterprise software categories before the market names them.<br> <br>At AWS, I launched Agentic AI for ERP in May 2025 — a new go-to-market motion bringing generative AI agents into the enterprise back office. The motion now spans Fortune 2000 customers across retail, manufacturing, consumer goods, and other SAP-heavy verticals. I founded and lead the customer Special Interest Group for the program, authored 40+ industry-specific playbooks using AI-assisted prompt architecture I designed, and present to F2000 CFOs, CIOs, and COOs on how agentic AI transforms the mechanics of finance, procurement, supply chain, and master data operations.<br> <br>The path that led here was 20+ years selling mission-critical software to Fortune 2000 enterprises. Sixteen years at SAP, including managing ExxonMobil as one of SAP's top five global accounts and a $165M five-year enterprise agreement. Three VP of Sales roles at Utegration, SEW, and GridX, where I built or rebuilt sales motions from the ground up. AWS Quarterly All-Star in Q4 2025 and Q3 2023 in a 200+ seller organization. 270% of 2024 quota.<br> <br>What I care about now is the chapter that comes next for AI in the enterprise back office: agents that interview business process owners and generate process agents from those interviews, AI that reads legacy ERP business logic and proposes modernization paths, AI-accelerated migration from non-SAP to modern ERP on the functional side rather than just the technical side. These are hard problems that a CFO cares about. The AI companies with the right product, the right partner bench, and the right thesis to solve them are the ones I want to build with.<br> <br>BS Electrical Engineering, University of Missouri-Rolla.

Great conversation this weekend at the SoCal Tech Forum with Alex Esterly from iT1, where we explored how modern infrastructure is evolving in a world shaped by cloud computing, AI workloads, and increasing cyber risk. Alex shared insights from more than 30 years of experience in IT leadership and infrastructure architecture, discussing how organizations are shifting from hardware-centric thinking to platform-driven operations and resilient infrastructure design. Some key takeaways from the discussion: - Infrastructure strategy is now a business resilience decision, not just a technical one - Modern environments require automation-first operations and hybrid architectures - AI-assisted IT operations are beginning to reduce operational toil and improve system reliability - Designing infrastructure for failure and recovery is more important than focusing only on prevention A special thank you to iT1, one of our valued sponsors, whose support helps power the mission at the SoCal Tech Forum and enables us to continue bringing together technologists, entrepreneurs, and innovators across Southern California. And thank you to everyone who joined us at FoundrSpace in Rancho Cucamonga for another great morning of conversation, networking, coffee, and community. Looking forward to seeing everyone next month at the forum, where we introduce ☁ Ben Schreiner ☁ (he/him/dude)! #SoCalTechForum #TechCommunity #Infrastructure #Cloud #AI #TechnologyLeadership
