Adam Alkire
Presales Solution Consultant Advanced
During college, at the University of Cincinnati, I interned at 3 different companies for a total of 6 semesters. This helped me figure out what I wanted to do and, more importantly, what I didn't want to do in my career. In my current role, I assist in the sales of Siemens engineering software by demonstrating the technical capabilities of our tools to our customers.
