  • Senior Financial Leadership, Communications Supply Corporation (a WESCO subsidiary) – Partnered with Ali Hasham to build the financial case for proactive inside sales coverage, driving double-digit growth.

  • Strengthen boardroom credibility, positioning Revenue Optics' solutions as strategic growth investments.
  • Guide operational scale, ensuring the platform grows with Fortune 500 rigor.
  • Shape platform expansion, positioning Revenue Optics as the category owner in distribution growth.

"Revenue Optics is not just a consultancy — it's a modern growth platform," said Zimmermann. "By embedding financial rigor into sales transformation, we can rewrite how distributors and their investors think about growth. I'm excited to help Ali and the team drive this next era."
