Voices Heard Media Launches Channel Sales Led by Walter Hirsekorn

Hirsekorn brings experience, networking to VHM Team

KNOXVILLE, TN – Voices Heard Media welcomes Walter Hirsekorn to its team as the Director of Channel Sales. Hirsekorn will play the instrumental role in driving global channel sales growth for the technology start-up, offering partners solutions for customer engagement. As well as overseeing the channel program, which entails building relationships with both the customer base and strategic partners, Mr. Hirsekorn will be responsible for recruiting and directing the global channel team.

Previously, Hirsekorn served as the Senior Vice President at the start-up company Phoenix NAP. He was responsible for end-user worldwide sales organization, profitability, and strategic initiatives for the company’s enterprise-class networking hardware, telecom equipment, and IT services. Prior to Phoenix NAP, Hirsekorn worked in multiple sales positions at Wireless Retail. There, Hirsekorn increased revenues to afford the company the opportunity to become the largest distributor of wireless products in the country which was later acquired by Radio Shack. Earlier in his career, Hirsekorn held various sales and leadership positions at both Ford Motor Company and Tecumseh Products.

“Mr. Hirsekorn’s nearly two decades of senior management experience sales, specifically in channel partnerships, will accelerate Voices Heard Media’s growth in multiples,” comments Craig Nealy, executive vice president of Global Sales and general manager of Media Conglomerates and Partner Alliances. “Equally important, Walter’s nurturing of those customer relationships fit in with and amplifies our company culture of caring for our clients long after the sale is done.”

"I'm very excited to join Voices Heard Media at this time of rapid growth and expansion,” said Hirsekorn. “My goal is to dynamically grow our partner ecosystem to maximize all revenue channels, raising awareness of the power of Voices Heard Media’s affordable user engagement tools and ensuring dominance in every market.”
