  • Alex Schroeder

    Alex was born and raised in the Atlanta market. She sold as an Account Manager for 1.5 years and consistently found herself raising her hand to help others whenever she could.

Now as a Sales Trainer, she is scaling that impact company-wide.

  • Vinny Rotondo

    Years with IG: 2.5

    Division Specialty: IGT & Direct Placement

    Vinny Rotondo is a Jersey Shore native (yes, where the show was filmed) who built his foundation in Insight Global's Stamford office from 2023 to 2026. He started as a Recruiter, worked his way up to Account Manager, and most recently served as Consultant Engagement Lead. Throughout his time in the field, Vinny found himself most energized by developing people, whether coaching recruiters, helping Account Managers grow their book of business, or supporting consultants in their success. That passion ultimately led him to Training & Development, where he now has the opportunity to teach skills, build confidence, and help salespeople reach their full potential. If you're in one of Vinny's classes, there's a very real chance you'll learn something, laugh a little, and leave more confident than when you walked in.
