About Axel / the person behind the work

Good with people.Curious about everything.

I’m Axel Vega, a technology sales professional and hands-on builder based in Mexico City. I connect the conversation with the customer to the work it takes to deliver.

Fourteen years in customer-facing technology and sales taught me how to listen, ask better questions, and explain complicated products clearly. Building software gave me another way to follow through: turning what a customer needs into something they can actually use.

My sales experience is the foundation. My technical work is what I am building on it.

years in customer-facing technology and sales

years dedicated to B2B accounts

SMB, government / nonprofit, and enterprise

01 / the experience

Two kinds of work. One way of thinking.

Understand the people, clarify the problem, and take responsibility for what comes next.

Customer & commercial work

A decade in technology sales

Verizon / TCC

Technology solutions sales · B2C & B2B

A substantial part of my tenure was in high-volume B2C, where I developed discovery, objection handling, and customer experience skills. Five years focused on B2B accounts, with a different approach for each buying environment.

2 years with small and medium businesses: practical discovery, account development, and relationship ownership.
2 years with government and nonprofit organizations: understanding procurement needs and aligning stakeholders.
1 year with enterprise accounts: complex buying groups, technical conversations, and ongoing account support.
Mobility, connectivity, devices, and security solutions, with follow-through on retention and account growth.

Proprietary client work

Evidence, observations, gap tracking, and printable reporting.
Client-owned software. The public example uses fictional data and is not the proprietary application.

02 / how I can contribute

The useful part is the connection.

Understand the buyer

Discovery, qualification, stakeholder alignment, and clear proposals. I adapt the conversation to SMB, public-sector, and enterprise needs.

B2B sales
Account development
Technical discovery

Build the next step

Readable interfaces, connected backend workflows, and AI-assisted products. The goal is a usable result, not a longer list of tools.

Think about the risks

Security, compliance, accessibility, and evidence matter before handoff. I bring those questions into both customer conversations and product work.
