Listen Later


Let's not play. Being a woman in tech sales is a challenge at best. It comes with a whole slew of challenges, hidden and not so hidden, that must be navigated and overcome just to be considered moderately equal. Join us as we discuss the what, why and WTF of breaking boundaries and creating success when the deck is intentionally stacked against you.


Jessica Bryar is currently a National Channel Director where she works on strategic channel partnerships at one of the largest Global Carriers, where she is not the anomaly in the sales world. She is no longer the only woman in the room, from strong female leadership to building a team of her own that is all-female, she is part of the change.


Before this role, she was a Global Account Manager for the Central region, where she helped multinational companies with their global connectivity, security, telecommunications, and SD-WAN solutions. 


She also was Sales Director/cloud solutions for Sandler Partners (formally X4 Communications).

Where she helped partners and their clients move 

  • network, 
  • storage, 
  • Emails
  •  and other applications 

to the cloud.


 Prior to Sandler partners, Bryar has worked at various technology companies ranging from Managed Service Providers to Private Cloud Manufacturers.
