I’m a GTM and Sales Leader with 20 years of experience scaling high-performing teams and building revenue engines from the ground up. I’ve rebuilt underperforming orgs, launched two commercial functions from zero, scaled another three from near zero, and led teams that consistently exceed targets—while creating cultures that retain and promote top talent.

My leadership philosophy is simple: lead from the front, empower & develop your people, and obsess over customer value. I’m hands-on when needed, strategic by default, and driven by measurable results. Whether scaling SaaS startups or optimizing mature sales motions, I focus on growth levers: hiring well, aligning cross-functional goals, refining ICPs, and tightening the funnel.

I'm a MEDDIC practitioner and fluent in Command of the Message, ensuring our sales orgs drive consistent, value-based conversations across the buying journey—from discovery to close. These frameworks have helped my teams build predictable pipelines, improve win rates, and align tightly with customer pain.

Key Strengths:
• Full-funnel GTM leadership across Inside, Field & Channel Sales
• New logo acquisition & enterprise expansion across SaaS, Cloud, AI, and DevOps
• Recruiting, retaining & developing top-performing reps
• Sales Ops: forecasting, comp plan design, CRM optimization
• Cross-functional alignment with Product, Marketing & CS
• Sales methodology: MEDDIC | Command of the Message | Value-Based Selling

Recent Highlights:
• Scaled revenue from $0 to $8M+ in 18 months at an early-stage startup
• Grew annual revenues by 40% in 2.5 years in a channel-led motion at HPE 
• Managed $20M+ annual quota while leading a large Sales organization at RealPage
• Increased retention and CAC efficiency through GTM and ops alignment

I thrive in fast-paced, builder environments where leadership, curiosity, and accountability drive success. Always open to connecting with other growth-minded operators or exploring what’s next.
