    Episode 40 | Kevin Hanson | Co-founder at Vectroid

    Episode #40 of "Can I get that software in blue?", a podcast by and for people engaged in technology sales. If you are in the technology presales, solution architecture, sales, support or professional services career paths then this show is for you! Today Chad and Steve are talking with Kevin Hanson, co-founder of the new vector database startup Vectroid. Kevin started his career as a Solution Architect but during his tenure at MongoDB he made the transition to Account Executive and is one of the few people to be able to make that career change successfully. He later worked in Partner sales at Google Cloud and then moved into Sales Leadership during his time at Grafana Labs. Kevin is a wonderful story teller and brings a lot of great stories about how he made the transition from SA to AE and how his time as an SA informs his thinking as a sales leader and now co-founder.
