Strategic Sales @ Canva | LinkedIn MVP | Snowboarder

I dream big, do work, and have fun. 

At LinkedIn I became the top rep in the world setting records unmatched, and named MVP during an epic 18 month sales year. I delivered  $500,000,000 net to LinkedIn. I did it without losing my soul.

Much of my success was based on a building a trusted personal brand. I spent years attempting to visually tell my story, and almost gave up. Then I started using Canva. It became almost like cheating. People were excited to see what ideas I came up with and I could really devote my energy to creating mutual success. 

My best sales year at LinkedIn was when I abandoned Powerpoint and started using Canva. So, joining the Strategic Sales team at Canva for me is a dream come true.

Global Client Director

Entrepreneurial creative sales professional and founding member of the fastest growing vertical at LinkedIn. Delivered $200MM to the business inside 5 years, recipient of the most coveted sales award at LinkedIn (MVP), and friend and mentor to many. 

Co-Creator of Get Hired  - A video series focused on our student and young professional member base

Traveled to over 100 colleges and universities completing keynote talks to over 25,000 students. High NPS sales keynote and sales kickoff speaker.

Former LinkedIn MVP discovers previous accomplishments mean absolutely nothing.

Back at LinkedIn, I went rogue and ditched PowerPoint entirely for Canva. Every. Single. Presentation. 

That same year? I became a LinkedIn MVP in an 18-month competition eclipsing $100 Million in net revenue during that period. 

Coincidence? Nope. I finally found a way to tell a story and really convince customers to dream big, not just spend money with LinkedIn.

Now I'm on the other side of the table, selling what people think is "just a consumer design tool" to the enterprise. 

I am watching Fortune 500 teams realize they can move at the speed of creativity, performance marketers can catapult ROAS, and sales teams can get more creative without the "brand police" calling!

Coach K wrote about "shared confidence" in his book—the idea that when one person believes, it lifts the entire team. That's exactly what I'm seeing here...

We're not just building a new sales org; we're building something that makes people more productive and successful.

The real MVP? This team.

I am still here. 

That is what my mother says every single time I call her.

I recently updated her fit with a bunch of "I am still here" swag - she wears it proudly.

Also, she just celebrated her 93rd birthday, so I updated her LinkedIn headline to match the swag.

The message is this: You are still here! So, enjoy this beautiful day.

In a sales role, your direct manager has more impact on your mental health than your partner, bff, or therapist. 

Think about it 🌈

So you have a LinkedIn profile. Congratulations on completing this crucial step in your unpaid full-time job of looking for a job that requires 5 year

Your LinkedIn Profile: A Beacon of Hope in the Void

We have a crazy big dream that by the end of our lifetimes, everyone on this planet will have their basic human needs met. Canva 🩷

A few years ago, we shared our 2 Step Plan:

1. Build one of the world’s most valuable companies
2. Do the most good we can do

We have a crazy big dream: that by the end of our lifetimes, everyone on this planet will have their basic human needs met. It’s terribly sad that this is still considered a crazy big dream, but thanks to the support of our community, the Canva Foundation is committing another $100 million USD to support people living in extreme poverty to take another step towards this.

Since 2021, our partnership with GiveDirectly has provided $50 million in direct cash transfers to more than 85,000 people in Malawi. Families have used this support to send children to school, access healthcare, start small businesses, and invest in livestock and tools that help create long-term security. Each story is different, but all prove a simple truth: when people are trusted to decide what they need most, the impact is extraordinary.

This new $100 million commitment will reach another 185,000 people, helping families transform their lives, while creating ripple effects that strengthen entire communities. It is, without a doubt, the best money we could ever imagine spending.

We’ve created a short documentary from journalist David Begnaud's visit to Malawi: https://lnkd.in/gpDpkW8h

We’re still very much on a learning journey, if you’d like to learn alongside us, visit our blog: https://lnkd.in/gn4TTJrg

With over 30% of Canva’s value dedicated to doing good, every subscription and every design fuels this mission. Thank you for being part of it ❤️
