The Future Sales Engineer, Sponsored by Iris and Hosted by IBM

Sales Engineers of New York (SENY) and our sponsor Iris invite you to the first 2026 event followed by our spring networking mixer. The event will be held at the flagship IBM office in Flatiron district in Manhattan. The panel includes Niv Reinoso (VP, Solutions Architecture Americas at Redis), Melanie Bendix (Principal Manager, Technical Leaders, Financial Services, IBM) and Ross Dyer (Head of E Commerce and Digital Natives, Solution Architecture, AWS).

SENY was formed in 2018 to connect all current and aspiring SEs of New York area. One of the challenges we found was that a lot of SEs (current or prospective) did not have a community where they can discuss issues related to the field of sales engineering.

The panel will focus on how the presales leaders at Redis, IBM and AWS anticipate the industry to change and what they envision the future SE to be like.
