Interview with Greg Dooley, SWRemote Sales Manager

AS: How long have you been working at Algonquin Studios?  
 
GD: I've been a full-time employee at Algonquin for four years. Prior to that,I'd completed a four month-long sales and marketing internship, here as well. 

AS: Tell us about your education/previous employment background.

GD: I went to the University at Buffalo and hold a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management, with concentrations in Marketing and Human Resources. Before joining Algonquin I held a position as a Human Resource Generalist at a local manufacturing plant and during my time at UB I was part of the Board of Directors for Schussmeisters Ski Club.

AS: What project(s) are you currently working on for Algonquin Studios? What project have you enjoyed most during your employment here?

GD: I've been working on sales and implementation for one of Algonquin's sister companies, SWRemote. SWRemote develops mobile software for residential service companies that allows their field technicians to capture all the pertinent job information while on a job site using a rugged, handheld unit. I work on the sales side, bringing on new clients, and then I continue working with these clients as they implement the SWRemote software and train their staff to use it.

AS: What's your favorite aspect of working at Algonquin and SWRemote?
 
GD: My favorite thing about working on SWRemote is that I get to see, first hand, the benefits that our software brings to the companies that implement it. After I spend a day onsite at a customer's location assisting in implementation, I can easily see the value our software is going to bring to the company and its employees.

AS: What do you do when you're not helping SWRemote clients get up on running?
 
GD: When I'm not at work I like to spend my free time golfing, playing hockey, or snowboarding. Outside of that I also enjoying watching the Bills and the Sabres and going to listen to live music.      

AS: Tell us something about yourself that might surprise your co-workers or our clients.

 GD: Thanks to all the traveling I do, both for work and pleasure, I've been to all but six states in the continental US. I'm also engaged and currently planning my wedding for next summer.
