Spotlight on Our International IBM Apptio Presenters

GREG TONKS

Committed and driven sales professional and former British Army officer. I began my career in the military, where I led specialised teams of IT and communications experts. At the onset of the Covid-pandemic, I moved to the Netherlands to study an MSc in Crisis and Security Management, where I graduated with an 81% average.

I joined Multiverse in 2021 to learn from world-class sales leaders at one of Europe's f1 Columnastest growing companies. Having over-performed against targets and taken on leading the Sales Academy, I was promoted to Regional Director in 2022. I joined Apptio in 2023 as an Account Manager, continuing to develop my experience in delivering value.

JIM ALDJAH

With over 25 years of experience in the field of information technology, I have developed a self-assured and flexible attitude towards people. My friendly pragmatic attitude creates goodwill with colleagues and clients.

I have a great sense of responsibility and thus no 9 to 5 mentality. When faced with new and challenging situations or environments, my flexibility as well as my analytical capability have proven to be great assets for confident and quick adaptation.

My ultimate aim is to serve as a trusted advisor, collaborating with clients and partners to facilitate mutual business growth and success.
