Dear friend,
Keep your cool. Frustration is not going to help anyone. All I would say is, you should have kept your boss informed about the discussion between you and the Ops GM. Always ensure that, all the updates should reach your boss only through you. It should not reach him through anybody else. Eventhough you have put all the efforts, you should have kept your boss in loop.
Now, let me explain you a different scenario. 1) The senior management staff will be meeting eachother on a regular basis, which you may not be aware of. They might meet for so many reasons. During such meetings, they discuss so many things. Imagine, if you were in your boss's position and some other departments head talking about the new sales account in the Senior Management Meeting. You will be totally embarrassed.
2) Even otherwise,if some other department's head opens up regarding the new deal to you. Imagine if you were in your boss's position and you will be embarrassed because it will be seen as if you have not got the updates from your subordinates.
Being an experienced person, your boss could have handled it in a good way. But, as you said, he would have been worried about his own target.
The problem is that inspite of all your efforts, the OPS guy had gained the benefits because he would have projected it to the top management as if it was his achievement. If you had kept your boss in loop, i feel that he would have ensured benefits for himself and you as well.
I understand that you would not have concealed the information from your boss wantedly. But please ensure that this doesn't happen in the future. In todays professional arena, we need to be smart thinkers. We should also ensure that we don't embarrass or scratch anyone (particularly our boss).
Best wishes for a bright future. There is always a sunshine at the end of a shadow. Please don't loose hope.
Regards,
Raman
