At SG, we know that great account executives aren’t just great talkers — they’re great doers. The best ones have lived in the field, solved real deployment problems, and know what it takes to keep promises. That’s why we’re excited to spotlight Benyam “Ben” Negussu, whose background in global operations now powers how we build and deliver for customers.
From NSC Global to SG Networks
Before joining SG, Ben spent more than a decade at NSC Global, running worldwide operations and partner programs. He oversaw service contracts that spanned continents and time zones, making sure pricing held up, logistics lined up, and networks went live without surprises. That history means when Ben sits down to scope a project or shape a deal, he’s drawing from real-world delivery — not guesswork.
Why That Matters for Customers
Operations leaders like Ben make exceptional account executives because they know how projects succeed or fail once the ink dries. They’ve felt the pressure of deadlines, parts shortages, and onsite challenges — and they plan for them. Customers working with SG benefit directly:
Contracts that work in practice, not just on paper — Ben builds agreements and pricing models grounded in what can actually be delivered.
Predictable global rollouts — his experience coordinating across borders means fewer surprises, faster deployments, and clearer timelines.
Risk and cost control from day one — because he’s run the numbers and lived the operational complexity, proposals aren’t wishful thinking.
Fewer handoffs, more accountability — the person you talk to about the deal understands the field realities and stands behind them.
"Ben doesn’t just sell — he knows how to deliver. That makes him a rare kind of account leader. Our customers see the difference when the plan and the field are in sync from day one."
- Jeremy Berry, EVP of SG Network Services
Looking Ahead
With Ben’s operational depth now guiding the front end of our customer relationships, SG is better positioned than ever to take on complex, multi-region rollouts and make them simple for the people who rely on us. Our customers get a partner who can price accurately, plan globally, and deliver locally — without the friction and risk that come from separating sales from execution.
If you’re exploring a move to VoIP, modernizing network infrastructure, or planning large-scale deployments across the U.S. and beyond, Ben and the SG team are ready to make it seamless.
"Big promises don’t mean much if you can’t back them up. Ben’s operations mindset means customers get real answers and real delivery, not just sales talk."
- Sabrina Bilic, CFO of SG Network Services
