In 2003, Vendere Partners was born out of the experience of its founding partners, Sean O'Neil and Jim Alkire. Together they comprised the executive leadership of a prominent technology consulting firm and were instrumental in building an inside sales operation and executing complex outside sales processes. In the course of their work, they noticed something peculiar in the business technology world: more often than not, medium-sized technology companies were experts in technology, but often lacked mature sales processes. To fill this need in the marketplace, Vendere Partners was created.
