Content Strategy and Revenue Architecture - Creator of SOS (Sales Operating System), for top of funnel

25 years in B2B sales. I don't know why either.

Started at AT&T and T-Mobile back when people still answered cold calls. They don't anymore. That's probably my fault somehow.

Worked at Outreach during the "sales tech will fix everything" era. It didn't fix everything. It did generate a lot of dashboards. Beautiful dashboards. Dashboards you could get lost in. People did.

Founded TIDAL. Built it into the leading sales development company worldwide. Trained thousands of SDRs to book meetings that account executives would then complain about. A tale as old as time. M&A. 

Started Magnetic. Supported 50+ Executives over 2.5 years with LinkedIn Lead Generation through Video Content Development. 2.5 years in spun up a local podcast, SpotLight Sioux Falls, to help celebrate the founders and leaders in the community we live in. 1.5 million views with 70+ episodes aired in 7 months. 

Leading GTM and Business Development with Pronto Networks, while owning and continuing to help lead GRAVITY Growth, A Video Content First Agency, and GRAVITY Wellness, A Video First System to Show Up When It Matters Most, throughout the patient and client health and wellness journey. 

I’m in the sweet spot: B2B GTM + revenue by trade, building alongside founders and C-level teams by choice—helping lead the future of employee, vendor, kiosk, and robotics experiences.

RevOps strategies for B2B SaaS companies

Ciao a tutti 👋

I'm an Italian who moved abroad at 19. At 30, I lived already in 5 different countries. 

I spent the first 6 years of my career in sales and Revenue Operations, mostly in the B2B software industry.

Two key principles have shaped me in becoming a better professional:

1️⃣ Learn and execute in order to gain data, insights, and optimize. 
2️⃣ Do extra and share your learnings with your team to make people around you better.

What are my interests? 😍

🍜 Food
🎧 Turntables and viniyls
🏃‍♂️ Fitness and hiking
🏝 Travelling

Shot me a funny DM and let's talk over a digital coffee ☕️
