Charlie Doebbler

Charlie Doebbler works as a Sales Operations Manager at AMD, a company that sells computer chips to various technology companies. He has been with AMD for about a year and a half. In his role, Charlie collaborates closely with sales and business development teams to formulate and execute sales campaigns. AMD primarily sells its products through partners who then sell products containing their chips to customers. Charlie’s responsibilities include budget management, creating sales materials, and devising strategies to increase chip sales. He regularly communicates with both internal teams and customers, gaining insight into customer situations and exploring collaboration opportunities.

Charlie began his career in inside sales at Dell Technologies and studied Professional Selling and Marketing at Baylor University. He fondly remembers participating in a research project with Dr. Dixon, which proved beneficial in his first role.

Professionally, he takes pride in achieving a managerial title at the age of 23. Personally, he cherishes climbing the Maroon Bells mountains in Colorado. Charlie is actively involved in organizations like Toastmasters, a local soccer club where he coaches soccer, and Down Home Ranch, an organization for individuals with special needs. These experiences have helped him develop skills in public speaking, leadership, and patience, which have translated into being a better employee.

His advice to students is to not only hone their sales skills but also start familiarizing themselves with one or more industries, as developing an industry-specific niche can make them invaluable when coupled with the training received in the ProSales program.
