In building the Acelera Group team, we asked a couple of questions:

  • Who delivers great results for clients?
  • Who’s really smart?
  • Who would be really fun to work with?

The principals have extensive experience in sales management, transformation, enablement and consulting across a wide range of enterprise technology companies, including Oracle, SAP, IDC, Siebel, Hyperion, Business Objects, News Corp and others.

The team has worked together before, designing and delivering these services in a wide range of engagements for many technology offerings and customers, over a period of five years.
