Brent began his career with a Dow Chemical and Eli-Lilly joint venture- DowElanco Canada. After stints in inside sales, database marketing and customer service, Brent accepted a transfer to Winnipeg as a Territory Sales Rep. After successfully managing a large dealer network, Brent joined Northern Telecom's Norstar marketing team, in Calgary, supporting the international small and medium business markets. During this time Brent had the pleasure to work on a small product team that successfully introduced, from concept, one of the first legitimate IP-PBXs, the Business Communications Manager. The convergence project combined knowledge from the acquisition of Bay Networks (Baystack) and traditional telephony from the Norstar product line. In 1999 Brent moved to Ottawa to help establish and verify the strategic direction for Nortel's Application Service Provider markets - leveraging Alteon and Shasta acquisitions.
