Kristine Stewart

“I have had the privilege of working closely with Jay for around ten years, and I am delighted to provide a wholehearted recommendation based on our extensive interactions. Jay is in the truest sense an industry expert with an amazing knowledge of the ecosystem and channel partner space. His ability to navigate the intricacies of the IT landscape, coupled with a keen sense for spotting trends far in advance, has consistently proven invaluable. Over the years, he and I have collaborated on various projects, including interviews for webinars, podcasts, white papers, and panels. I still remember the innovative holographic presence he brought to one of our panels when he beamed in from Barcelona to our partner conference in Utah. Beyond his professional expertise, he has been a source of invaluable career advice and guidance, positively influencing my career trajectory. I am truly fortunate to have him as a colleague and consider it a privilege to have him as a friend. His positive impact on both a professional and personal level is unmatched.”

I have the pleasure working with Jay as an advisor to CallSine.”
