Stephen Owings

Stephen Owings serves as a National Account Executive at ShipStation Global, formerly known as Worldwide Express, where he specializes in logistics and transportation technology solutions. With 14 years of experience, he started in sales selling alarm, fire protection, and security systems for two years after college before joining the company in February 2013 as an account executive. He advanced quickly, earning fourth place in the National Presidents Club out of over 500 account executives in his second year and becoming one of the youngest promoted to area sales manager, leading a team of six to eight in the Memphis market for five and a half to six years. After prioritizing work-life balance following marriage and starting a family, Owings returned to sales, rebuilding his book from zero to generate about 2.5 to 2.6 million dollars in annual profitable margin for the organization. His achievements include winning the Million Dollar Club with a $100,000 check, placing second in the National Sales Competition, and first in the CPD district contest. A stockholder in the company, Owings attributes his success to his family and the blue-collar grit and grind culture of his hometown Memphis, Tennessee, where hard work and persistence were instilled early through his mother's example of working multiple jobs.
