Summary

Karl Pinto, an Account Manager at PagerDuty's Commercial Sales Team in Toronto, transitioned from studying Computer Science at Waterloo to a career in tech sales, driven by his passion for the business application of technology. After gaining valuable experience at Dell, where he learned to communicate solutions effectively to customers, and spending a decade at Salesforce witnessing its growth, Karl joined PagerDuty to help a smaller company expand. He values PagerDuty's positive culture and collaborative environment, which contrasts with the notion of a cutthroat corporate atmosphere. Emphasizing the importance of work-life balance, Karl acknowledges the necessity of taking breaks to avoid burnout, a lesson learned from his own experience of underutilized vacation days. His love for travel has taken him to various countries, and he looks forward to future adventures, such as attending the Olympics in Tokyo, driven by his upbringing in the culturally diverse city of Mississauga.
