Sharad Ahlawat
Chief Architect - Network Intelligence
 
Sharad Ahlawat  
The Director of US Sales of this Network Intelligence technology provider charged Redfish Technology with the job of finding superior technical talent for their nascent and growing US operations. The company was recently awarded the Hot Companies and Best Products Award from the Network Products Guide, the industry's leading technology research and advisory guide. The company is privately-held, profitable and has just closed round C of funding. Critical to the successes of this cornerstone hire was the technical expertise along with impeccable communication skills to liaison with clients in a sales capacity, product development as a programming expert, and executive management as a strategic thinker.

Redfish recruited Sharad Ahlawat out of Cisco for his 20 years in security and networking, deep packet inspection and classification technology experience. Sharad shone far above other potential candidates because of his extensive cross-functional experience in product management, software development, pre-sales and customer support. He has worked successfully with international businesses, building and managing teams, leading technological innovation, and providing excellent sales support and client relations. Sharad has a BS in Computer Science, and MBA in Marketing, and a number of patents in internet security and SCM.

"I have now worked with Logan in both roles. One where he was helping me get a job and now when he is helping me recruit. Working with Logan has always been refreshing and a great pleasure. He is to the point, straight forward and professional. In the first attempt he matched my profile to a position that fit me like a glove and allowing me to apply my true potential. He has the expertise to match people to the right job requirements and we do not spend anytime following up and exploring possible fits with candidates who do not fit our requirements." - Sharad Ahlawat

The job market in technology is hot! Engineering, development, product management, sales and business development, these are hot roles in the tech sector and there's a lot of competition by companies to attract and retain top talent these days.  

Even if you aren't looking for another job, you may be approached with another opportunity. Let's say you really weren't looking to make a move but you were polite on the phone, and next thing you know you're curious about what you are hearing.

Attracting and retaining top tech talent requires a concerted plan. To attract the best and brightest, companies must be dynamic and growing, and must provide a work environment and benefits that motivate employees.
