The SE Leadership Institute
Developing World Class Sales Engineers and SE Leaders
After spending over 25 years in enterprise software and 18 years (and counting) in SE Leadership positions with some of the world's most successful organizations (Salesforce, Siebel, Box, Mixpanel, mParticle, and now Algolia), our CEO came to the startling realization that much of the canon on the philosophy and practice of Sales Engineering Leadership in SaaS had never been definitively documented, discussed, or brought to the community at large. Sales Engineering (also known as Customer Engineering, Solutions Engineering, Field Engineering, and many other names) is a critical part of any successful enterprise technology company, and it is our goal at the SE Leadership Institute to bring together the content and the community focus around execution and continuous innovation to ensure the continued growth and impact of this essential craft to both its practitioners, and to the highest performing technology organizations of today and tomorrow.
" If you're an SE leader, you owe it yourself and your people to take this course. It's not just an opportunity to learn and share insights, but you'll leave charting a more deliberate path forward for your organization. At Twilio we're improving our product gaps, vision, and SE rules of engagement as a result of this course, and charting the right course of growth ahead. Thank you Stephen Morse. One of the most practical workplace trainings I've ever been to. "
- Benjamin Smith, VP of Global Solutions Engineering, Twilio
