Özgür as The Connector: Building Relationships, Delivering Solutions

Özgür Saritas | Account Manager 2, Inside Sales | Switzerland

What inspired you to join Dell, and how has your journey here shaped your skills and career in ways you didn’t expect?

When I joined Dell, I was attracted by its strong reputation, global presence, and the opportunity to prove myself in the world of complex IT solutions. Working here has given me the chance to explore advanced technology and develop new skills like listening closely to understand customers’ pain points, collaborating with teammates across different countries, and asking for help when needed. I didn’t expect to find such a supportive work environment or to connect with colleagues all around the world. These experiences have helped me grow both professionally and personally in ways I never imagined. In 10 months at Dell, I have had the opportunity to move from Germany to Switzerland, from Medium Business Sales to Enterprise Sales thanks to the support of my colleagues and leaders. This experience made me feel inspired and truly valued, and it shows how Dell empowers you to grow, learn, and take on new challenges.

What’s the most valuable lesson you’ve learned while working at Dell, and how has it influenced the way you approach your work?

By always questioning the status quo and working together with my team to find creative solutions. I’ve learned that the best results come from embracing new ideas and collaborating to overcome challenges.

  

If your Dell experience were a recipe, what would the key ingredients be?

My Dell experience is like a recipe made with curiosity to ask questions, resilience to face challenges, careful listening, a dash of team spirit from events and activities, a pinch of proactivity, and a bit of fun like improving my table tennis skills with colleagues along the way.

    

How has Dell’s culture of innovation and collaboration helped you grow both personally and professionally?

Dell’s culture of innovation and collaboration has inspired me to embrace life-long learning through ongoing trainings in sales skills, deepening my knowledge of our portfolio, and exploring new ways of working, like using our dedicated sales chatbot. By connecting with colleagues in Employee Resource Groups, we can shape a positive work environment and join meaningful community initiatives, such as clothing donations for people in need. These experiences have helped me grow both personally and professionally, giving me fresh ideas, strong relationships, and a real sense of pride in the impact we make together at Dell.
