UNH Sales Hosts Successful Competition, Career Fair and Casino Networking Event
UNH recently hosted an exciting and impactful series of events, including the 2026 UNH Sales Competition, Sales Career Fair and Casino Networking Night — bringing together students, alumni and industry partners for a full day of experiential learning and connection.
Congratulations to this year’s top competitors:
- Champion: Jason Pino
- Second Place: Hannah Stewart
- Third Place (Tie): Jayson Gherlone and Ryan Matson
- Finalist: David York
Nearly 100 UNH sales students stepped into the arena to compete, collectively completing more than 300 live sales role-plays with business professionals. Participants received real-time feedback from industry judges, gaining invaluable hands-on experience that simply can’t be replicated in a traditional classroom setting.
A special thank you to Greg Scott, Brent MacLeod and the team at case sponsor BitSight, along with 20 additional partner companies, for investing their time and expertise to support student learning and development.
We are also grateful to Travis Kierstead, Natalie Ferland, Amy Sununu and the entire UNH Professional Sales Group for coordinating such a complex and high-impact series of events. PSG members volunteered countless hours preparing first-time competitors and ensuring the day ran seamlessly from start to finish.
The competition, career fair and networking events continue to showcase the strength of UNH’s experiential learning model — connecting students directly with professionals and helping prepare them for successful careers in sales.
