Converged Network Services Group (CNSG) has hired David Hopper as its new director of sales engineering.

Hopper will lead the CNSG sales engineering team in providing support for every aspect of the discovery, design and delivery of the overall service package for customers. His channel background includes selling cloud, which includes expertise in SD-WAN, cloud and UCaaS offerings.

Hopper previously was director of sales at Green Cloud Technologies, where he developed strategic relationships with channel partners to increase profitability by growing recurring revenue streams. Prior to Green Cloud, Hopper was customer sales and solutions engineer for Windstream.

“Dave brings a wealth of knowledge and experience enabling partners to succeed in selling cloud, hosted voice and SD-WAN solutions,” said Randy Friedberg, CNSG’s vice president of business development. “He also possesses the unique ability to maintain that perfect balance between engineering and sales. Dave can help design complex cloud applications with the most technical IT director and then turn around and be able to articulate those solutions to a less technical partner or end user. We look forward to seeing our partners continue to achieve success in selling advanced technology solutions.”{ad}

CNSG is a master distributor for cloud, connectivity and cloud enablement.

“CNSG is a great company which has always put the needs of their partner community first,” Hopper said. “I’m excited to join an organization that continues to enable partners to gain the credibility and confidence to sell advanced solutions. Our sales engineering team will work hand in hand with CNSG partners to ensure the delivery of the best overall solution for their customers. I know our fast-growing team will play a vital role in helping partners achieve success as our industry evolves.”
