Summary
Mike Fenton is a Strategic Account Director specializing in Financial Services with over 20 years of enterprise software sales experience and 14 years focused on major accounts in the Washington DC–Baltimore corridor. He brings deep expertise in enterprise integration and hybrid cloud platforms—SOA, ESB, messaging, stream analytics, APIM, microservices and DevSecOps—helping global banks modernize architectures and vendor estates. Mike has repeatedly moved between strategic and specialist sales roles at Red Hat, Confluent, TIBCO and others, demonstrating an ability to translate complex technical roadmaps into multi-year commercial partnerships. Known for closing large, cross-functional deals, he combines technical fluency with a sociology background that sharpens his stakeholder management and negotiation approach.
