Ted Mercer

Ted Mercer has worked in sales and sales management for nearly 20 years. He qualified as a Chartered Accountant practicing with KPMG in Toronto and London, England. He performed investment banking functions with Morgan Stanley in London, England and KPMG in Sydney, Australia. In 2006, after seeing the light, he escaped the accounting world and leapt into software sales with Resolver, a technology company based in Toronto. After moving up to VP Sales at Resolver, Ted spent time as VP Sales at  Kira Talent and BlueRush. On the side, he dabbled as a junior dragon on the TV show, Dragons’ Den and invested in and helped run a frozen food distribution company, failing spectacularly in that endeavour. In 2020, as the pandemic launched, Ted joined Snowflake as an Account Executive. Today, Ted spends his time passionately advocating for customers to set themselves up properly to participate in the data economy.
