About
Don Maher
Technical Sales Recruiter, Coach, Consultant, Trainer and Executive for companies in the semiconductor, aerospace and defense, factory automation and other high tech industries
Over 30 years of valuable, hands on experience
I began my recruiting career at Computer Sciences Corporation and then managed all recruiting efforts at the Fairchild Semiconductor Research Lab in Palo Alto, CA.
My journey continued as an applications engineer at Avantek, then to Watkins-Johnson where I managed Applications Engineering in the microwave amplifier group.
My career then took me to Applied Materials, where I started as a marketing specialist and eventually rose to VP positions in Sales, Marketing and Field Service. Following that, I joined Lam Research as VP of North American Sales and Field Operations, reporting directly to the company president.
If you’re looking for just the right technical sales professional, or would like to improve your team’s sales effectiveness, I can help you.
Why us?
My work is based on 30+ years of experience recruiting and managing technical salespeople, sales managers and sales executives who collectively sold and supported more than $10B of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, components, services, software and spare parts.
I’ve sold equipment, components, services, spare parts and system upgrades, and have managed hundreds of others who did the same.
I know the differences between sales jobs and salespeople, and I know what it takes to succeed in all types of sales positions.
I know what a good fit between a candidate and a company, job and manager looks like.
I’ll recruit the best possible person for you and your position.
